Abstract
Purpose:
Revealing the diode laser therapy's results in the diabetic macular edema.
Method:
The diabetic retinopathies in which macular photocoagulation has been performed (between Sept. 1996-Sept. 1998) are analyzed. The cases were selected according the ophthalmoscopy appearance: clinical significant macular edema. The technical features and the clinical and functional parameters' evolution after the treatment are described.
Results:
Visual acuity's evolution has been stationary in 80% of cases. No complication during or after the macular photocoagulation with the diode laser has occurred.
