Prognosis
No complications are encountered in most patients with lattice degeneration, however in young myopes, retinal detachment can occur. There are documented cases with macula-off retinal detachment in patients with asymptomatic lattice degeneration. Partial or complete vision loss almost always occurs in such cases. Unfortunately, such young patients who are otherwise healthy have to spend the rest of their lives with impaired vision. Currently there is no prevention or cure for lattice degeneration.
It is not known if research is being carried out to find a cure for lattice degeneration.
