Changes in Macular Thickness After Patterns Scan Laser - Full Text View

Sponsor:	Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México
Information provided by:	Asociación para Evitar la Ceguera en México
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00563628

Purpose

Laser photocoagulation has become the treatment of choice in PDR. Laser photocoagulation has become the treatment of choice in TMD. The aim is to destroy a substantial portion of the peripheral retina in order to reduce the angiogenic stimulus (decrease the difference between oxygen demand and the administration). Their effectiveness is determined by the extent of destruction of the retina (2.4).
