Note the retinal thinning, which is characterized by a color change. Photograph of the peripheral retina demonstrates an area of lattice degeneration.

This can only be determined by a dilated exam. There is no benefit to laser if the patient is asymptomatic or if the lattice is not susceptible to retinal tears. Treatment is by prophylactic laser to prevent tears or holes in patients who have susceptible areas of lattice. Lattice or variants of lattice can be seen in people with Marfan Syndrome, Stickler’s Syndrome and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Click here for more information on Floaters and Flashes. Symptoms of a retinal tear or retinal detachment include seeing “floaters” or seeing “flashes” of light. People who are nearsighted (myopic) are at higher risk.
Retinal detachments are ophthalmic emergencies and need to be repaired promptly by laser or other surgery to avoid loss of vision. It is condition where the peripheral retina develops small holes and thin spots that predispose the retina to tearing which can lead to a retinal detachment. Lattice Degeneration of the retina occurs in about 6-8% of the population.
