Introduction:
The aim of this study was to compare individual accuracy and speed of laser application using the Navilas laser system in patients with diabetic and vascular macular oedema.
Methods:
The Navilas laser system was used by an experienced retina specialist and a relatively inexperienced ophthalmologist. Obtained results were retrospectively assessed with regard to precision and speed of laser application.
Results:
Precision of laser therapy was quite similar, 88 % and 84 % for experienced and inexperienced operators, respectively. The treatment procedure took on average 5.5 minutes and 5.34 minutes for experienced and inexperienced operators, respectively.
Conclusions:
Precision and duration of therapy using the Navilas laser system do not seem to be correlated with the individual experience of the treating physician.
