A retrospective study of 19 patients, who suffered from diabetic retinopathy, were submitted to a xenon-light-coagulation 10 years ago and have been regularly checked, shows better results in the treated eyes than in the untreated fellow-eyes in regard to visual acuity and background morphology. In cases of poorly controlled metabolism, heavy smoking and simultaneous suffering from hypertension and nephropathy the prognosis of the treated eyes is unfavourably affected.
一项对19例糖尿病视网膜病变患者的回顾性研究表明，这些患者在10年前接受了氙光凝固治疗，并一直定期接受检查，就视力和眼底形态而言，治疗眼的效果优于未治疗的对侧眼。在代谢控制不佳、大量吸烟以及同时患有高血压和肾病的情况下，治疗眼的预后会受到不利影响。
