Argon laser treatment in complications of angioid streaks

Five patients with subretinal neovascular complications of angioid streaks were treated with the argon laser. One patient, additionally had a central retinal vein occlusion with preretinal neovascularization. In four out of five cases we obliterated the subretinal neovascular membranes with ensuing improvement of visual acuity. In a follow-up period of 14 months on the average, the treatment appeared to be successful.
