Laser Photocoagulation in Retinal Vein Occlusion

Abstract

Visual acuity is primarily decreased secondary to macular edema, retinal ischemia and complications of neovascularisation in both BRVO and CRVO. Panretinal Laser photocoagulation or Focal photocoagulation is an effecting treatment for neovascularisation and prevention of complications of neovascularisation by ablating ischemic retina in either BRVO or CRVO. But Macular Laser photocoagulation can be use for treatment of non ischaemic macular oedema in only BRVO either alone or combination with other Anti-VEGF or Anti-inflammatory medication.
