About Leber Miliary Aneurysm
Key Highlights
-
Targeted treatment to seal leaking retinal microaneurysms and prevent vision loss.Minimally invasive outpatient procedure, often performed with topical anesthesia.Helps stabilize the macula by reducing fluid leakage (macular edema).Can prevent progression to more severe complications like retinal hemorrhage.Performed with high-precision laser technology for focused treatment.
Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of Leber's military aneurysms confirmed via fluorescein angiography and OCT.
- Presence of associated macular edema threatening central vision.
- Recurrent or persistent intraretinal hemorrhages from the aneurysms.
- Progressive vision decline directly linked to the aneurysmal leakage.
- Failure of conservative management (e.g., observation, medical therapy) to control symptoms.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive retinal examination including visual acuity testing and dilated fundoscopy.
- Diagnostic imaging: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fluorescein Angiography (FA) to map the aneurysms.
- Discussion of procedure details, benefits, and potential risks with the ophthalmologist.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications as advised by the physician, if applicable.
- Arranging for transportation post-procedure as vision may be temporarily blurred.
Risks & possible complications
- Transient blurred vision or discomfort following the procedure.
- Potential for laser scar formation, which if close to the fovea, could affect central vision.
- Risk of increased intraocular pressure (secondary glaucoma).
- Incomplete closure of aneurysms, requiring additional treatment sessions.
- Rare risks include choroidal neovascularization, retinal detachment, or infection.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Vision may be blurry for a few hours; avoid driving immediately after the procedure.
- Use prescribed anti-inflammatory or antibiotic eye drops as directed to prevent infection and inflammation.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or rubbing the eye for the first few days.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for monitoring of the retina and treatment efficacy.
- Report any sudden increase in pain, vision loss, or new floaters to the ophthalmologist immediately.

Karan Ali, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Karan Ali, a 28-year-old software engineer and avid photographer, first noticed a persistent, dark shadow in the lower part of his right eye's vision. Over several weeks, it grew larger, accompanied by occasional flashes of light. Terrified of losing his sight and his creative outlet, he visited an ophthalmologist. A comprehensive retinal exam and fluorescein angiography revealed a Leber Miliary Aneurysm, a cluster of abnormal, leaky blood vessels threatening his central vision. His doctor recommended targeted laser photocoagulation to seal the aneurysms and prevent further leakage and vision loss. During the procedure, Karan was anxious but felt only mild pressure as the laser was applied. In the days following, his vision was blurry and he had a headache, but the disturbing shadow began to recede. After six weeks, the leakage had stabilized, and his central vision was preserved, though a small permanent blind spot remained. Emotionally, he journeyed from profound fear and anxiety about a future in darkness to immense relief and cautious optimism, deeply grateful to have saved the vision crucial for his work and passion.
