Retina thining/hole to be lasered!

[Nekou]

Hi
Im 28 male, and have done LASEK 6 years a go. last week and during a football match, ball hit my eye and doctor's diagnosis was: "there is a thining region on your retina at 10 o'clock position and it should be lasered!
now I need to know if it is really emergency and in what level the case is dangerous!?
any one can help?

If the injury caused a retinal tear or acute hole, laser will help prevent a retinal detachment.  This is done in the ophthalmologist's office.  The procedure should be done if there is a retinal tear or hole; the laser will help seal the surrounding retina down and prevent fluid from getting under the retina and causing a detachment.  In that case, a much more aggressive surgery would be needed.

actually Im in a trip so I wanted to know if it is emergency to laser or I can fly back to my country in some weeks and have it done there..
The retina specialist's diagnosis was the retina became thinner, no retinal hole seen.
by the way Thanks a lot for the good answer...
