You mean the fovea which is the part of the retina where the very center most detailed part of your vision is. And no, you can not even use sub threshold laser there as it will damage your vision. Sometimes if the point of leakage is adjacent to the fovea lasering it will improve vision, but edema involving the fovea usually has to be treated by injection.

Many thanks for the info!
The person I know who has this issue has the edema right at that spot, and the injections didn’t help :(
Too bad they can’t get at it from the side via a different method...
