Photocoagulation and diabetic retinopathy.

Comparison between panretinal photocoagulation and panretinal photocoagulation plus intravitreal bevacizumab in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes often develop ocular complications. The most common and most blinding of these complications, however, is diabetic retinopathy. The objective of this study was to compare the retinal neovessels regression in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) treated with Pan Retinal Photocoagulation (PRP) versus panretinal photocoagulation plus Intra Vitreal Bevacizumab ...

Changes in Electroretinogram Parameters after Panretinal Photocoagulation in Diabetic Retinopathy

Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on parameters of electroretinograms (ERG). Methods: Retrospective study was performed on 58 eyes of 29 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) who underwent PRP. ERG was performed in each patient before and after PRP, and each ERG parameters were compared between the preand post-PRP st...

Continuous wave Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

AIMS The therapeutic efficacy of the continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser (working in the free running mode) was investigated in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) comparing it with a conventional laser source such as the krypton laser. METHODS Twenty four eyes of 12 patients affected with bilateral PDR were included and divided in two groups. The right eyes were treated with a red krypton...

Association between diabetic retinopathy and hemoglobin level

Background: Anemia may be considered to be an independent risk factor for the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with renal failure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between blood hemoglobin level and retinopathy in diabetic patients with normal renal function tests.Methods: From 2009 to 2011, 1100 diabetic patients underwent retinal examination. Am...
