Tuberous Sclerosis – Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Photocoagulation

Eye tumors in tuberous sclerosis seldom need any treatment since they often do not develop large enough to affect your vision. However, in some rare cases, these growths would lead to some eye issues. Photocoagulation is a common technique to deal with these problems. It is a procedure in which your doctor will use lasers to get rid of any blood vessels that are providing blood for the tumors. By doing this, these spots will shrink overtime to reverse the effects.
