• RP and laser surgery

• I have RP and ushers syndrome 2. I had cataract surgery about 5 years ago that helped with my central vision. I have no peripheral vision at this point. But have very good central vision.
  
  After cataract surgery I had laser surgery to clear a hole in the film that covers the lens after cataract surgery. Its been five years and I think the film has come back. I am waiting to see a doctor on this.
  
  My question is whether laser surgery to put a hole in the film causes trauma to RP disease thus accelerates the disease thus causes additional loss of sight? If so, then I need to decide whether to have the surgery or live with the "haziness".
