  • Title: Photocoagulation with continuous wave ND:YAG laser for neovascular maculopathy.
    Author: Nishikawa S, Okisaka S.
    Journal: Jpn J Ophthalmol; 1992; 36(1):44-55. PubMed ID: 1635295.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-two eyes in 22 cases of neovascular maculopathy were treated with continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser and followed up for 6 to 24 months. The effect of the treatment was evaluated by repeated visual acuity testing, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and automated static perimetry. In 91% of the patients visual acuity remained unchanged or improved. Fluorescein angiography revealed that the neovascularization disappeared in 91% of the patients. In 40% of the patients the central visual field showed improvement by automated static perimetry. These results indicate that CW Nd:YAG laser photocoagulation is useful for the treatment of neovascular maculopathy.
