The use of krypton red laser photocoagulation (KRLPC) to treat subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) is increasing. The complications of this treatment in a large series of patients have not been reported. Over a 15-month period, 195 patients had KRLPC to SRNVM of the following etiologies: senile macular degeneration (151), presumed ocular histoplasmosis (33), miscellaneous (11). Fourteen patients had the following complications attributable to KRLPC: choroidal hemorrhage (9), retinal pigment epithelial tears (3), choroidal ischemia (1) and choroidal folds (1). The visually significant complication rate was 3.6%. Proper patient selection and treatment technique may decrease the risk of complications.
