The treatment for retinal holes is to cause 360 degree scarring around the hole to prevent it from becoming a detachment. One way to do that is lasering a 360 degree ring around the hole sealing it off. Another is by freezing the eye at the site of the hole, killing that area, therefore causing a scar at the site of the hole. They both work, but laser is easier and painless and does not require more than an anesthetic eye drop. Cryo is extremely painful without some kind of a major local anesthesia (like a shot). For the patient, laser is easier to sit through. However, I usually tell patients, whatever the retina specialist is more comfortable doing, that’s what you stick with. I would just discuss the options with your retina specialist.
