Photocoagulation treatment for clinically significant radiation macular oedema.
Macular oedema is a leading cause of vision loss in patients with radiation retinopathy. In an effort to find an effective treatment for this vision threatening complication, 12 eyes (eight patients) were treated with photocoagulation for clinically significant radiation macular oedema (CSRMO) defined as central macular thickening, exudates threatening the macular centre, or one disc area of th...
متن کامل"Light" versus "classic" laser treatment for clinically significant diabetic macular oedema.
AIM To compare the effectiveness of "light" versus "classic" laser photocoagulation in diabetic patients with clinically significant macular oedema (CSMO). METHODS A prospective randomised pilot clinical trial in which 29 eyes of 24 diabetic patients with mild to moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and CSMO were randomised to either "classic" or "light" Nd:YAG 532 nm (frequ...
متن کاملlaser photocoagulation in diabetic macular edema: effects on visual acuity and macular edema
due to the importance of clinically significant macular edema in diabetic patients, this study is aimed to determine if laser photocoagulation is effective in the treatment of clinically significant diabetic macular edema. in addition, the effects of risk factors arc surveyed* this is an existing data study considering patients with clinically significant diabetic macular edema, treated with ar...
متن کاملCorrelation of a scanning laser derived oedema index and visual function following grid laser treatment for diabetic macular oedema.
AIM To correlate change of an oedema index derived by scanning laser tomography with change of visual function in patients undergoing grid laser photocoagulation for clinically significant diabetic macular oedema (DMO). METHODS The sample comprised 24 diabetic patients with retinal thickening within 500 micro m of the fovea. Inclusion criteria included a logMAR visual acuity of 0.25, or bette...
متن کاملDiode laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular oedema.
AIMS This study aimed to investigate whether diode laser irradiation, which is poorly absorbed by haemoglobin, can induce closure of leaking retinal microvascular lesions in the treatment of diabetic macular oedema. METHODS Thirty three eyes with clinically significant diabetic macular oedema were treated with a diode laser. Fundus evaluation before and after treatment included visual acuity,...
