Ophthalmic lasers are used as diagnostic as well as therapeutic modalities in patients with retinal diseases. Recent advances in laser technology have allowed more convenient selection of wavelength and a wide variety of delivery systems is available to deliver the laser energy to the retina. In addition, newer lasers that disrupt and cut tissue will become available for use in patients with retinal diseases. The use of imaging lasers and lasers in combination with dyes selectively to enhance their effects have become useful in diagnosis and understanding of pathophysiology of diseases. These lasers will also be therapeutically useful. This manuscript delineates the new types of diagnostic and therapeutic lasers, new imaging dyes and techniques as they apply to retinal diseases as well as the principles of laser-tissue interaction as applied to the retina. This should allow the ophthalmologist who treats patients with retinal diseases to make more intelligent decisions regarding the use and acquisition of laser systems.
眼科激光在视网膜疾病患者中用作诊断和治疗手段。激光技术的最新进展使波长选择更加便捷，并且有多种传输系统可将激光能量传输至视网膜。此外，能破坏和切割组织的新型激光将可用于视网膜疾病患者。成像激光以及与染料结合使用以选择性增强其效果的激光在疾病的诊断和病理生理学理解方面已变得很有用。这些激光在治疗方面也将很有用。本手稿阐述了适用于视网膜疾病的新型诊断和治疗激光、新型成像染料和技术，以及应用于视网膜的激光与组织相互作用的原理。这应能使治疗视网膜疾病患者的眼科医生在激光系统的使用和购置方面做出更明智的决策。
