Fundus shows a chronic nasal retinal detachment (RD) with intraretinal cysts (black arrow) which has been laser delimited from ora serrata to the disc margins [Figure 1]a. Swept source OCT section (inset) taken through the detached retina (Blue arrow), area of chorio-retinal adhesion (red arrow), and attached retina [Figure 1]b. At 6-months follow-up, the retinal detachment did not progress. Despite the detachment extending posteriorly up to the optic disc, laser was effective in halting its progression.[1] Thus, optic disc itself acts as a barrier to progression of RD, and laser delimitation can be contemplated even in such cases. | Figure 1: (a) Ultrawide field fundus photograph captured with Optos Silverstone showing demarcation laser limiting progressing of RD.

Demarcation laser up to the disc can be preferred in patients with macula sparing rhegmatogenous retinal detachment obviating need of vitreoretinal surgery.
