1. yes it is important.
2. it is not dangerous in experienced hands (vitreoretinal surgeon)
3. yes, routine check in 2-3 weeks
4. 100% success!
5. Retinal thinning can often go unnoticed. However it carries a risk of retinal detachment. Since your thinning has been diagnosed, you should best undergo the laser treatment. But it is not an emergency!
Take care!
