Brief Answer:
The treatment is by barrage laser.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having retinal thinning. Retinal thinning usually occurs as a part of retinal degenerations.
The treatment for this is to do barrage laser to prevent further progression and to prevent the formation of retinal holes and hence preventing the complication in the form of retinal detachment.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment by laser.
Hope this information is helpful to you. Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
