Eales' disease is an idiopathic obliterative retinal vasculopathy that is treated with laser photocoagulation, and/or vitrectomy. In order to determine visual outcomes and regression of retinal neovascularization following scattered peripheral retinal photocoagulation, and/or vitrectomy in cases with Eales' disease, we did a retrospective study of the records of these patients treated in La...

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of laser photocoagulation for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) involving the macula. METHODS The records of 38 patients (47 eyes) undergoing laser photocoagulation for PCV causing serosanguineous detachment involving the fovea were reviewed and the results were evaluated. Ten eyes underwent photocoagulation to induce a fusion scar covering whole lesions...

PURPOSE To analyze the morphology of microaneurysms before and after direct photocoagulation using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. METHODS In 13 eyes of diabetic patients who underwent focal photocoagulation for clinically significant macular edema, microaneurysms were evaluated before, immediately after, 1 month after, and 2 months after photocoagulation with spectral domain op...

BACKGROUND To compare the effects of laser photocoagulation combined with subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide with photocoagulation alone, for diabetic cystoid macular edema. METHODS This retrospective comparative study analyzed data for 34 eyes with cystoid macular edema treated with photocoagulation alone (n=17) or combined with triamcinolone (n=17). All patients were followed for...

purpose: to determine the effect of grid pattern laser photocoagulation on diabetic diffuse macular edema with assessment of visual outcome. patients & methods: the author reviewed the medical records of 84 eyes of 62 patients with diabetic diffuse macular edema treated with grid pattern green argon laser photocoagulation in farabi eye hospital between the years 1992-1995, the follow-up period ...

800x600 to report the efficacy of combination therapy (bevacizumab and photocoagulation) in a case of eales disease this study has been performed. bevacizumab (avastin, 1.25 mg/0.05 ml) was injected intravitreously for the treatment of iris and retinal neovascularization in a 56-year old hispanic female with photocoagulation treatment to control the recurrence of vitreous haemorrhage. our resul...

PURPOSE Macular edema is one of the most serious adverse effects after retinal scatter laser photocoagulation. It has been suggested that the changes in the distribution of retinal blood flow or the inflammatory reaction after photocoagulation may be involved in the pathogenesis of macular edema, but little information is available about its exact mechanism. This study was designed to evaluate ...

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 ...

Medicinal lasers are a standard source of light to produce retinal tissue photocoagulation to treat retinovascular disease. The Diabetic Retinopathy Study and the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study were large randomized clinical trials that have shown beneficial effect of retinal laser photocoagulation in diabetic retinopathy and have dictated the standard of care for decades. However, ...
