Yellow Pattern 577-nm Micropulse Laser: Treatment of Macular Edema from Radiation Retinopathy – A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of a 60-year-old Asian male who developed radiation retinopathy 23 years after initial radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and was successfully treated with yellow pattern 577-nm micropulse laser. Secondary macular edema and visual acuity improved following a single treatment session with minimal scarring. Yellow pattern micropulse laser is a safe and effective treatment for macular edema secondary to radiation retinopathy.

The Short-term Efficacy of Subthreshold Micropulse Yellow (577-nm) Laser Photocoagulation for Diabetic Macular Edema
PURPOSE This pilot study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subthreshold micropulse yellow (577-nm) laser photocoagulation (SMYLP) in the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). METHODS We reviewed 14 eyes of 12 patients with DME who underwent SMYLP with a 15% duty cycle at an energy level immediately below that of the test burn. The laser exposure time was 20 ms and the spot dia...

C entral serous retinopathy (CSR) is an idiopathic disease that primarily affects young white men, 20 to 50 years of age, although it is seen occasionally in older patients, females, and other ethnic groups. The condition may be triggered or exacerbated by stress or corticosteroid use. CSR is characterized by avascular focal leakage through the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), resulting in ser...
