Treatment of retinal embolus by photocoagulation.

Transpupillary Diode Laser Retinal Photocoagulation for the Treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity: Experience in Southern Iran

Diversion of retinal blood flow by photocoagulation.

The normal distribution of the retinal blood flow in the cat eye was modified by photocoagulation to part of the territory supplied by a major arteriole, or by occluding a branch. Volume inflow to the treated territory was reduced, and there was also a reduction of linear flow and, to a less extent, calibre in the parent vessel. Branches of the parent vessel supplying untreated territory showed...

Retinal sparing by selective retinal pigment epithelial photocoagulation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether photocoagulation of the retinal pigment epithelium is possible with sparing of the photoreceptors. METHODS Mild laser effects of a neodymium:yttrium-lithium-fluoride (Nd:YLF) laser (527 nm) were applied to 17 patients. To establish the necessary energy, test exposures were performed to the lower macula (laser variables: 1.7 microseconds, 100 and 500 pulses app...

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...

Navigated Retinal Photocoagulation

B eing a retinal specialist entails mastering a multitude of techniques and everemerging technologies to ensure that patients receive the best possible care. This process begins during residency, when operating foreign equipment such as the slit lamp and indirect ophthalmoscope become second nature. In our typical workweek, we utilize dozens of technologies to diagnose, manage, and treat our pa...
