Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of a navigated laser system for the treatment of retinal tears. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A planned pattern laser retinopexy was performed using a navigated laser photocoagulator incorporating rapid panretinal photocoagulation technology with an individualized target overlay to produce a 3 × 3 square pattern surrounding a horseshoe tear. Institutional review board approval was not applicable for this case. RESULTS: Successful laser retinopexy 360° around the tear was achieved. CONCLUSION: In select cases, a navigated laser system may be utilized for the treatment of retinal tears.
