To study the relationship between exudative age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy and assess the influence of retinal laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy on the occurrence of exudative age-related macular degeneration.
Two groups, one of diabetic retinopathy patients treated with laser and the other of non-laser-treated diabetic retinopathy patients, were studied by means of fundoscopy and fluorescein angiography for the presence of exudative age-related macular degeneration.
Exudative age-related macular degeneration was not observed in 431 patients treated with laser photocoagulation, and was diagnosed in 3.3% of 151 non-laser-treated patients.
Patients treated by laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy are less prone to develop the exudative form of age-related macular degeneration.
研究渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性与糖尿病性视网膜病变之间的关系,并评估糖尿病性视网膜病变的视网膜激光光凝术对渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性发生的影响。
通过检眼镜检查和荧光素血管造影术,研究两组患者,一组为接受激光治疗的糖尿病性视网膜病变患者,另一组为未接受激光治疗的糖尿病性视网膜病变患者,观察是否存在渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性。
431例接受激光光凝治疗的患者未观察到渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性,151例未接受激光治疗的患者中有3.3%被诊断为渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性。
接受激光光凝治疗糖尿病性视网膜病变的患者发生渗出性年龄相关性黄斑变性的可能性较小。
