Krypton red laser photocoagulation for subretinal neovascularization. 1985

J L Shakin, and L A Yannuzzi, and E P Shakin, and Y L Fisher

One hundred fifty-seven patients with subretinal neovascularization (SRN) were treated in a prospective, nonrandomized, consecutive study with the krypton red laser (KRL). The patients were analyzed with respect to age, etiology of the SRN, location of the SRN, and pre- and post-treatment visual acuity in patients with at least three months follow-up. Previous studies have not investigated KRL photocoagulation within the foveal avascular zone (FAZ). The results of this study compare favorably with other large series in which patients with SRN located outside the FAZ were treated with the argon blue-green laser (ABGL).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008028 Light Coagulation The coagulation of tissue by an intense beam of light, including laser (LASER COAGULATION). In the eye it is used in the treatment of retinal detachments, retinal holes, aneurysms, hemorrhages, and malignant and benign neoplasms.
