Abstract
- The use of photocoagulation to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy has gained widespread acceptance in ophthalmic practice since its introduction in 1959 by Meyer-Schwickerath. The purpose of photocoagulation is thought to reduce the stimulus for the vessel formation so characteristic of proliferative retinopathy. Photocoagulation may cause damage to Bruch's membrane, retinal pigment epithelium, and neurosensory retina and may result in either subretinal neovascularization or choroidal neovascularization. We found choroidal neovasaularization after performing photocogulation(one case is Argon laser the other Xenon-arch) in two diabetic retinopathy patients.
