Retinal laser photocoagulation.
Since its discovery in the 1940s, retinal photocoagulation has evolved immensely. Although the first photocoagulators utilised incandescent light, it was the invention of laser that instigated the widespread use of photocoagulation for treatment of retinal diseases. Laser permits choice of electromagnetic wavelength in addition to temporal delivery methods such as continuous and micropulse mode...
متن کاملAnalgesic eVect of topical sodium diclofenac 0.1% drops during retinal laser photocoagulation
Aims—To evaluate the analgesic eVect of topical sodium diclofenac 0.1% during retinal laser photocoagulation. Methods—87 patients, 45 with proliferative diabetic retinopathy treated with two sessions of panretinal photocoagulation (group A), and 42 patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy who underwent grid treatment of the posterior pole (19 bilaterally) (group B). Sodium diclofenac...

متن کاملThermal Interaction between laser & tissue during retinal photocoagulation
The conventional retinal photocoagulation uses continuous wave (CW) lasers which results in pathophysiologic thermal environment to surrounding normal tissues such as neural retina, choroid, and photoreceptors. Selective photodamage of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), thus sparing photoreceptors can be achieved by using short pulsed lasers. The problem associated with the usage of short pulsed...
متن کاملSOPHOCLE: A Retinal Laser Photocoagulation Simulator: Overview
Retinal laser photocoagulation has been used for a decade, but no real improvement in results has been observed.The simulator described in this paper, by separating actual practice from apprenticeship, allows one both to learn how to manipulate the equipment and to train oneself for making a diagnosis and operating. It has been designed as close as possible to the actual operation conditions an...
