Micropulse laser treatment is an alternative to the conventional continuous-wave laser for the treatment of retinal or macular diseases. In contrast to the conventional laser, the therapeutic effect of the subthreshold micropulse laser is not accompanied by thermal retinal damage. This fact is of particular importance when a treatment near the fovea is required. Micropulse treatment is applied in indications such as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), diabetic macular edema (DME), or macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). This review outlines and discusses the published literature of subthreshold micropulse laser treatment for CSC, DME, and macular edema after RVO.
微脉冲激光治疗是治疗视网膜或黄斑疾病的一种替代传统连续波激光的方法。与传统激光不同，阈下微脉冲激光的治疗效果不会伴随视网膜热损伤。当需要在黄斑附近进行治疗时，这一事实尤为重要。微脉冲治疗适用于中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变（CSC）、糖尿病性黄斑水肿（DME）或视网膜静脉阻塞（RVO）所致黄斑水肿等病症。本综述概述并讨论了已发表的关于阈下微脉冲激光治疗CSC、DME和RVO后黄斑水肿的文献。
