Four argon laser techniques have been evaluated in the eradication of diabetic disk neovascularization: focal (nonfeeder) photocoagulation, feeder-frond photocoagulation alone, panretinal photocoagulation alone, and feeder-frond treatment combined with panretinal photocoagulation. Focal photocoagulation was dangerous and the least effective technique in preventing recurrence of neovascularization. Feeder-frond photocoagulation was effective initially, but was associated with a high incidence of recurrent neovascularization. Panretinal photocoagulation and panretinal photocoagulation combined with feeder-frond treatment produced results superior to those obtained with the two earlier techniques. The best results were obtained with combined feeder-frond and panretinal photocoagulation done concurrently. Early diagnosis, aggressive photocoagulation therapy, and close follow-up were essential in order to obtain good results.

Early detection of recurrent or inadequately obliterated choroidal neovascularization can be achieved by repeating fluorescein angiography at one week and at one month after treatment. Immediate and intensely heavy photocoagulation of the recurrent vessels is recommended. Advisable settings are 200 μ. 400 mW. at 0.2 or 0.5 second, and 500 μ with 700 mW. at 0.2 or 0.5 second. Repeated slit lamp evaluation is advised until all fluid is resolved and all leakage on the angiogram is sealed. The patient is then followed up every six months, or earlier if he or she notes recurrent distortion on the Amsler grid, which the patient is advised to check three times weekly.

Our experience with the evolving techniques we have reported has not resulted in significant increases in visual acuity over pretreatment levels. However, argon laser photocoagulation, properly given, does destroy subretinal neovascularization. The most significant points of technique are (1) heavy treatment of the entire frond; (2) accomplishment of this usually by a 200-mu spot size, 0.2 to 0.5 second, at 300 to 400 mW. power; (3) the eye under retrobulbar anesthesia, and (4) following the case at intervals of three to five days until the neovascular frond is destroyed. If the edge of the neovascular frond is within 200 mu of the fovea, treatment presents a very definite hazard to foveal vision and should be attempted only in the most experienced hands and on only the best-informed patients.

The authors describe the most important complications that have occurred at time of treatment or within one week after treatment of a wide variety of retinal diseases with argon laser slit lamp photocoagulation, and describe the best methods to reduce the incidence and severity of such complications.

... Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography reveals hyperfluorescent areas that correspond to leaking points, and the choroid appears partly hypofluorescent owing to RPE atrophy and partly hyperfluorescent owing to the choriocapillary hyperpermeability. [2][3][4] Optical coherence tomographic (OCT) examinations reveal subretinal fluid and an irregular profile of the internal margin of the neurosensory retinal detachment secondary to a thickening and elongation of photoreceptor outer segments. A double-layer sign may appear with an undulating RPE profile, a hyporeflective middle layer, and an intact or slightly thickened Bruch membrane. ...

... Laser-induced retinal lesions find many therapeutic applications in ophthalmology.'- 3 The lesions are a result of thermal damage induced in tissue by the absorbed laser light. Photocoagulation of the retina by an argon laser is used to treat diseases ranging from retinal detachment to diabetic retinopathy. ...

... Right after the invention of the laser by Maiman in 1960 [11], many more types of lasers were launched [12]. Moreover, pulsed lasers were studied as potential tools in biomedical applications [13,14], and only 5 years after its invention, the laser was used for precise tissue coagulation [15]. ...

... The argon green laser trial of extrafoveal CNV (200–2500 lm from the center of the foveal avascular zone) showed 25% and 60% severe visual loss in treated and untreated patients, respectively [14]. However, 59% of treated patients developed recurrent neovascularization, often soon after treatment (24% at 6 months, 43% by 1 year) [15]. The krypton red laser study treated juxtafoveal CNV lesions with a posterior border 1 to 199 lm from the center of the foveal avascular zone. ...

... In the current study, all patients who developed early postoperative VH were phakic, showed active fibrovascular membranes and none experienced ocular hypotony. Preoperative panretinal photocoagulation was not performed due to the risk of contraction of preretinal membranes [22][23][24], instead it was performed at end of surgery. To reduce the risk of intraoperative bleeding, IVB was injected 3-5 days prior to surgery in this series, but no more than 5 days to avoid causing fibrovascular contraction and subsequent worsening of the retinal detachment [25][26][27]. ...
