[Laser-photocoagulation of macular holes (author's transl)]

Abstract

In severe cases of degenerative macular cysts or holes laser lesions were placed on the temporal or nasal lip of the hole, to preserve the central vision of the right side. In early cases with good visual acuity only 2 narrow beam lesions, were placed to prevent progression of the disease. Control examinations revealed no decrease of visual acuity in most of the cases. In some cases even a little improvement of visual acuity was observed.
