Diode laser photocoagulation of choroidal neovascularization associated with retinal pigment epithelial detachment

Transpupilary thermotherapy of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age related macular degeneration

 Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...

Photocoagulation of choroidal neovascular membranes with a diode laser.

Nine eyes with parafoveal choroidal neovascular membranes due to age-related macular degeneration or angioid streaks were treated with a diode laser and were followed up to 40 weeks (mean 26 weeks). Angiographically proved closure of the membrane was achieved in seven eyes. Four lesions needed a second treatment for growth of subretinal neovascular tissue. Post-treatment visual acuity ranged fr...

Barrier Laser Photocoagulation for Recurrent Retinal Detachment

Objective: To describe results of barrier laser photocoagulation in preventing progression of recurrent retinal detachment. Methodology: Prospective review of five patients with recurrent retinal detachment confined to the peripheral inferior retina. Three rows of barrier argon laser photocoagulation of moderate intensity white burns were performed. Patients were observed carefully after laser ...

Transpupillary Diode Laser Retinal Photocoagulation for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity: Experience in Southern Iran

Transscleral Diode Photocoagulation of Large Retinal and Choroidal Vascular Lesions

BACKGROUND Transscleral retinal photocoagulation with a diode laser is used in glaucoma refractory to medical and surgical treatment. Our main research question was how the technique performed in large vascular lesions associated with hemangiomas of the retina and choroid. METHODOLOGY/CLINICAL FINDINGS Patient charts were retrieved from the hospital files for patients who underwent the proced...
