  • Title: Treatment of juxtafoveal and parafoveal neovascular membranes with monochromatic green argon photocoagulation: green laser.
    Author: Orellana J, McPherson AR, Bravo JJ.
    Journal: Ophthalmologica; 1987; 194(1):19-26. PubMed ID: 2438619.
    Abstract:
    Sixty eyes in 58 patients with either juxtafoveal or parafoveal neovascular membranes were treated with monochromatic green argon photocoagulation. The visual acuity was stabilized or improved in 73.2% (22 eyes) in both the juxtafoveal and parafoveal groups. Total eradication of the neovascular membranes was possible in 86.6% (26 eyes) in the juxtafoveal group and 93.4% (28 eyes) of the parafoveal group. This study suggests that successful treatment of both juxtafoveal and parafoveal neovascular membranes can be accomplished with monochromatic green argon photocoagulation.
