Retinal cryotherapy essentially delivers cold energy to treat the retina. Similar to laser, cold energy can create adhesion between the retina and eye wall (to treat retinal tears, holes, and retinal detachment), ablate diseased tissue causing abnormal blood vessel growth (panretinal photocoagulation), or seal areas of leakage which cause retinal swelling. It is used less commonly than laser, but may be used when it is difficult to see the retina, due to blood or cataract, or when gas bubbles are used.
