METHOD FOR LASER TREATMENT OF RETINOPATHY IN PREMATURELY BORN BABIES

摘要

The method for the laser treatment of retinopathy in the prematurely born babies comprises exposure of the avascular area of retina to the laser beam at wavelength of 532 nm. The laser coagulation of the avascular area of retina is performed throughout the whole area by laser beam 100-150 ?m in diameter with power output of 0.25-0.45 W and exposition of 0.1-0.2 s. The coagulation is performed by a series of 0.1-0.2 s pulses with the series duration of 0.8-1.0 s and pulse period to pulse duration ratio of 0.1 s.
