Laser photocoagulation has been the mainstay of diabetic retinopathy treatment since its development in mid-20(th) century. With the advent of antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy, the role of laser therapy appeared to be diminished, however many advances in laser technology have been developed since. This review will describe recent advances in laser treatment of diabetic retinopathy including pattern scan laser, short-pulse duration and a reduced fluence laser, and navigated laser system for proliferative diabetic retinopathy and macular edema.
自20世纪中叶激光光凝术问世以来，它一直是糖尿病视网膜病变治疗的主要手段。随着抗血管内皮生长因子疗法的出现，激光疗法的作用似乎有所减弱，然而自那时起激光技术已经取得了许多进展。本综述将描述糖尿病视网膜病变激光治疗的最新进展，包括光栅扫描激光、短脉冲持续时间和低能量密度激光，以及用于增殖性糖尿病视网膜病变和黄斑水肿的导航激光系统。
