Krypton red laser photocoagulation of peripapillary subretinal neovascular membranes

The visual outcome of 20 eyes of 20 patients with peripapillary subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) treated with krypton red laser photocoagulation (KRLP) was studied. Complete obliteration of the SRNVM was achieved in all eyes in the study. In 18 of 20 patients, the visual acuity improved or r...

Zusammenfassung:	The visual outcome of 20 eyes of 20 patients with peripapillary subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) treated with krypton red laser photocoagulation (KRLP) was studied. Complete obliteration of the SRNVM was achieved in all eyes in the study. In 18 of 20 patients, the visual acuity improved or remained the same during an average follow-up of 9.9 months. There were no treatment-related complications. The efficacy of KRLP in the management of patients with peripapillary SRNVM is discussed.
