متن کاملLaser treatment in diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in developed countries due to macular edema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). For both complications laser treatment may offer proven therapy: the Diabetic Retinopathy Study demonstrated that panretinal scatter photocoagulation reduces the risk of severe visual loss by >50% in eyes with high-risk characterist...
متن کاملNew Understanding of Diabetic Retinopathy
The rate of fluorophore accumulation in the lens of the eye in patients with type 1 diabetes is inceased in proportion to glycemic control, researchers reported. “This parameter alone is, however, not sufficient to explain the entire variation in lens fluorophore accumulation,” researchers wrote in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. They reported that lens fluorescence must be influenced by ...
متن کاملTransscleral Micropulse Diode Laser for Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy
Micropulse Diode Laser Photocoagulation (MD) is designed to target The Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) melanocytes while avoiding photoreceptors damage. The term “subthreshold” refers to photocoagulation that does not produce visible intraretinal damage or visible scarring either during or after treatment. It is well known that burns cannot be detected by clinical examination or by Intravenous...
