Subretinal fibrosis after laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema.

摘要: Seven eyes had subretinal fibrosis after grid laser photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema. The caused persistent loss in visual acuity, and six of the seven eyes, was not associated with detectable laser-induced Bruch's membrane rupture or hemorrhage. Choroidal neovascularization detected only one patient, who notably younger (27 years) than median age 70 years this series. preoperative acuity 20/80 (range, 20/40 to 20/ 400); postoperative 20/400 counting fingers). at a three months 14 days 4½ months) therapy. In five bilaterally treated patients (20%), developed both eyes.
