Lasers in ophthalmology
Retinal lasers are used to treat various retinal conditions by using light energy to coagulate tissues. Different types of lasers are used depending on the condition and location being treated. Lasers work through thermal effects like photocoagulation or photodisruption, or photochemical effects like photoradiation. Common uses include treating diabetic retinopathy with panretinal photocoagulation, diabetic macular edema with focal or grid laser, and retinal vein occlusion or choroidal neovascularization with grid laser. Precise laser parameters are used depending on the target tissue and desired effect.
