Nerve fiber layer findings by scanning laser polarimetry in central retinal vein occlusion after panretinal photocoagulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report is of a patient with ischemic central retinal vein occlusion who underwent panretinal photocoagulation. Serial measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer were performed using scanning laser polarimetry, which showed increased thickness of the peripapillary region as early as 2 weeks after the panretinal photocoagulation.

Purpose. To compare subfoveal choroidal, central retinal, and peripapillary nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) with red and green laser in diabetic patients. Study Design. Randomized clinical trial. Methods. A total of 50 patients with bilateral proliferative diabetic retinopathy and no diabetic macular edema underwent PRP. One eye was randomly assigned t...

Twenty seven eyes treated for ischaemic central retinal vein occlusion with panretinal photocoagulation were reviewed. Prior to laser therapy anterior segment neovascularisation predominated (17 eyes) over posterior segment involvement (6 eyes). After photocoagulation anterior segment new vessels regressed or did not develop in the majority of cases. However, in five eyes previously absent post...

PURPOSE To examine the effects of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) using a pattern scanning laser (PASCAL) system on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in patients with diabetic retinopathy. METHODS This retrospective study included 105 eyes with diabetic retinopathy, which consisted of three groups: the PASCAL group that underwent PRP with the PASCAL method (33 eyes), the conven...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether photocoagulation of the retinal nonperfusion area suppresses ocular vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in a rabbit retinal vein occlusion (RVO) model. Methods The retinas of pigmented rabbits were made ischemic by a laser on the main branch of retinal veins following intravenous injection of Rose Bengal. The eyes were...

In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we quantitatively analyzed the tomographic features in the neural tissues around the optic disc in patients with diabetic retinopathy with and without panretinal photocoagulation. We analyzed 206 eyes, comprising 33 normal eyes in subjects without diabetes (group I), 30 eyes without diabetic retinopathy (group II), 66 eyes with non-proliferative diab...
