Abstract:
Argon and diode laser pan retinal photocoagulation are used in diabetic proliferative retinopathy. This is a prospective study of the effects of each laser type on peripheral field loss. It shows that diabetics have significantly reduced peripheral field prior to laser compared to normals (p = 0.006). With identical pan retinal photocoagulation with either argon or diode laser there is no difference in field loss.
