This study aimed to investigate whether diode laser irradiation, which is poorly absorbed by haemoglobin, can induce closure of leaking retinal microvascular lesions in the treatment of diabetic macular oedema.
Thirty three eyes with clinically significant diabetic macular oedema were treated with a diode laser. Fundus evaluation before and after treatment included visual acuity, stereoscopic biomicroscopy, colour photographs, and fluorescein angiography.
At a mean period of review of 6 months macular oedema had completely or partially resolved in 27 eyes. Visual acuity improved in three, deteriorated in one, and was unchanged in 29 eyes.
Preliminary data suggest that diode laser therapy induces closure of leaking retinal microaneurysms and is effective in the treatment of diabetic macular oedema.
本研究旨在探讨血红蛋白吸收较差的二极管激光照射在治疗糖尿病性黄斑水肿时能否诱导渗漏性视网膜微血管病变闭合。
对33只患有具有临床意义的糖尿病性黄斑水肿的眼睛进行二极管激光治疗。治疗前后的眼底评估包括视力、立体生物显微镜检查、彩色照片和荧光素血管造影。
在平均6个月的复查期时，27只眼睛的黄斑水肿完全或部分消退。3只眼睛视力改善，1只眼睛视力恶化，29只眼睛视力无变化。
初步数据表明，二极管激光治疗可诱导渗漏性视网膜微动脉瘤闭合，对糖尿病性黄斑水肿治疗有效。
