Abstract:
Objectives: To observe the efficacy of semiconducted laser photocoagulation on diabeticretinopathy(DR). Methods: Retrospective analysis of 206 eyes from 140 patients receiving semiconducted laser photocoagulation therapy for DR. Results:One hundred and eleven eyes were treated with PRP, 95 eyes were treated with mild-PRP. Visual acuity was increased by 1～3 lines in 82 eyes(35%), not changed in 94 eyes(46%) and decreased in 30 eyes(19%). On Fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) 3 months later, new vessels shrinked and retinal edema recovered in most cases, but in 10 eyes, new vessels and small nonperfusional areas still could be seen after the treatment, which was treated again. Conclusions: Timely and proper laser photocoagulation is an important treatment for DR, FFA is an essential guidance for this procedure.
