Prophylactic laser photocoagulation in stickler syndrome

Prophylactic Treatments for Retinal Tears/Detachment in Stickler Syndrome: Single Institution Experience

Background: To report the clinical features and prophylactic treatment methods for retinal pathology in Stickler syndrome (SS) patients (pts). Methods: A retrospective non-comparative interventional case series. Results: The median age of the pts was 12 (range 0.2-68) years. Systemic features of SS were present in 23 pts. High myopia was present in 19 pts. Treatment was by laser retinopexy and ...

THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS OF LASER PHOTOCOAGULATION AND VITRECTOMY IN EALES\'DISEASE

Eales' disease is an idiopathic obliterative retinal vasculopathy that is treated with laser photocoagulation, and/or vitrectomy. In order to determine visual outcomes and regression of retinal neovascularization following scattered peripheral retinal photocoagulation, and/or vitrectomy in cases with Eales' disease, we did a retrospective study of the records of these patients treated in La...

Automation in krypton laser photocoagulation.

Histologic study of lesions produced by krypton red (647.1 nm) and krypton yellow (568.2 nm) laser lights reported here suggests advantages in alternating these two wavelengths in photocoagulation. Selection of the best wavelength to be used in a given location on the retina should result from pre-determined absorbance conditions in that location. The feasibility of the relative measurement of ...

Silva Laser photocoagulation Author :

Introduction Currently, three types of therapy are approved for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD): laser photocoagulation, photodynamic therapy with Verteporfin and intravitreal injections of antiangiogenic agents (Ranibizumab and Pegaptanib). Other treatments revealed to be ineffective or even more aggressive than natural disease progression. Examples of these l...
