Barrier Laser Photocoagulation for Recurrent Retinal Detachment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: To describe results of barrier laser photocoagulation in preventing progression of recurrent retinal detachment. Methodology: Prospective review of five patients with recurrent retinal detachment confined to the peripheral inferior retina. Three rows of barrier argon laser photocoagulation of moderate intensity white burns were performed. Patients were observed carefully after laser photocoagulation for signs of progression of retinal detachment beyond the barrier laser confines. Results: Barrier laser photocoagulation was successful in limiting the progression of retinal detachment in all cases during follow-up period (average 34.4 months), and maintaining good central visual acuity. Conclusion: Barrier laser photocoagulation can be useful in preventing progression of recurrent retinal detachment in selected patients.

The purpose of this paper is to report a series of macular holes that developed after demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachments. This observational case series consists of three eyes from three patients seen between 2005 and 2012. Delayed idiopathic macular hole formation occurred following demarcation laser photocoagulation for subclinical retinal detachment. Demar...

AIMS/BACKGROUND Recurrent peripheral retinal detachments may occur in eyes treated with vitrectomy and silicone oil for retinal detachments complicated by proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). The aim of this study was to assess whether laser photocoagulation could be used in the presence of silicone oil to confine and stabilise recurrent PVR related peripheral retinal detachments enabling the...

BACKGROUND Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of visual impairment in working-age adults worldwide. Panretinal photocoagulation is a cornerstone in its management; however, it may include a range of side effects and complications, one of these being serous retinal detachment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of intravitreal injection of bevacizu...
