SAFETY OF TRANSFOVEAL SUBTHRESHOLD DIODE MICROPULSE LASER FOR FOVEA-INVOLVING DIABETIC MACULAR EDEMA IN EYES WITH GOOD VISUAL ACUITY

Abstract

In a small retrospective series, transfoveal subthreshold diode micropulse laser was safe and effective for the treatment of fovea-involving diabetic macular edema in eyes with good preoperative visual acuity that were not the candidates for conventional photocoagulation or intravitreal injection. Further study is warranted.
