(1) laser
(2) ???? etc.

The treatment does not necessarily need to be available through the NHS.

I'm searching through the web and it is laser, laser, laser. My reason for asking is that the doctors may have seen some retinopathy from my latest scan. Any treatment is a way off, but I had a little retinopathy a few years ago and went down a laser route, and my overall impression was that far from improving, my vision worsened as a result. Also, I'm curious because I have only spoken to NHS doctors so far, and have found in the past that NHS doctors have not, let's say, been totally candid about possible treatments. So I was wondering maybe whether anybody else had experience of other treatments? tia.
