[A laser coagulation technic in central retinal vein occlusion]

The authors analyze the method of laser therapy in venous retinal occlusions. In view of the different therapeutic approach in occlusion of the branch and the trunk of the retinal vein, the paper has two parts. In occlusion of the branch of the retinal vein the authors describe the applied techniques of laser photocoagulation recommended by L'Esperance--quadrant barrage, barrier of the macula and arteriolar constriction. Technical data on photocoagulation are presented. In the treatment of occlusions of the trunk of the retinal vein the authors use panretinal photocoagulation, however, only in the ischaemic form of occlusion as a prevention of neovascular glaucoma. The authors mention some of their own experience with the treatment of venous occlusions of the retina by argon laser photocoagulation and they present their own therapeutic schedule.
