[Preventive laser coagulation of the retina in children with uveitis]

Presented are cases of proliferative uveitis in which a laser coagulation of the retina has been performed in order to separate the fibrous changes. The authoresses discuss 2 groups: treated without coagulation and with the use of an argon laser coagulation. They see better anatomical and functional results in group in which prophylactical coagulation has been performed. They draw on this basis the conclusion that it should be used earlier, before the complications which hinder this operation come forth.
