Complications are uncommon and usually settle with time.
If you have laser treatment for fluid at the back of the eye, you may notice a black spot following the treatment. The black spot is often close to the centre of your vision. This is due to the effect of the laser. It fades with time but may be permanent. If you have a lot of laser, you may notice that your night vision fades a little.
