Cryotherapy
Pneumatic retinopexy is an in-office procedure during which the eye is numbed and then a gas bubble in injected into the vitreous cavity. The patient is asked to position such that the bubble will float up against the retinal tear and hold it closed. If the bubble successfully closes the tear, the fluid under the retina will absorb allowing the retina to reattach. Cryotherapy or laser is also applied to create an adhesion that will keep the retina flat after the bubble disappears.
