Abstract:
Free Running Neodymium-Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (FR Nd-YAG) laser coagulation of the macula was performed in seven human eyes. Follow-up varied from 1 to 15 days. Damage to the outer retinal layers was apparent immediately after exposure whilst that in the inner retinal layers developed subsequently. The choriocapillaris and major choroidal vessels were occluded. Visual acuity changed in an unpredictable way.
