Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the greatest cause of legal blindness in the western world. Established treatments include argon laser photocoagulation of extrafoveal choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and photodynamic therapy of selected sub-foveal CNV. Newer approaches are targeting the angiogenic pathway in CNV development. Currently, other treatment modalities, such as radiotherap...

Histologic study of lesions produced by krypton red (647.1 nm) and krypton yellow (568.2 nm) laser lights reported here suggests advantages in alternating these two wavelengths in photocoagulation. Selection of the best wavelength to be used in a given location on the retina should result from pre-determined absorbance conditions in that location. The feasibility of the relative measurement of ...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy targeted retinal photocoagulation (TRP) with pan (PRP) in treatment proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). A total 100 patients PDR were enrolled study. divided into TRP group (n=50) and PRP (n=50). primary outcome measure proportion who achieved a complete regression PDR. Secondary measures included effect or on visual acuity, fields need fo...

purpose : to evaluate the effect of intraviteral bevacizumab (ivb) in diabetic macular edema (dme), using multifocal electroretinography (mferg) methods : sixty-four eyes of 32 patients with bilateral symmetric clinically significant macular edema (csme) were included in the study. after taking a baseline mferg, macular photocoagulation (mpc) was done in all eyes. after 7 days, 1.25 mg of bevac...

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to determine burn intensity in retinal laser photocoagulation based on laser parameters; wavelength, power, beam size and pulse duration, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), fundus camera, physical eye model and computer simulation in a clinical study.Materials and Methods: Participants were 10 adult patients between 50-80 years with prolifer...
