  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Seven eyes in 7 diabetic patients developed sub-foveal hard exudate and diffuse macular edema following panretinal photocoagulation. We treated these eyes with additional argon laser photocoagulation placed in a horseshoe pattern in the parafoveal area excepting the papillomacular nerve fiber bundle.

Subfoveal exudates either decreased or disappeared in all the 7 eyes. The visual acuity improved in 1, remained stationary in 5 and deter-iorated in 1 eye.

Four patients in the series also suffered from hypertension or diabetic nephropathy. Maculopa-thy was present in the fellow eye in the majority of the cases.

The present approach with additional photocoagulation is thus of limited value as it can induce improvement in fundus findings but not in visual acuity.
