Argon laser treatment of exudative senile maculopathy. 1977

A B Sand

Fourty-nine eyes with exudative senile maculopathy (ESM) have been treated with argon laser photocoagulation. Fluorescein angiography studies were done pre- and postoperatively. The follow-up time is 6 to 12 months after end of treatment. The results suggest a beneficial effect in selected cases of ESM.

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.

D008268 Macular Degeneration Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina.
