Abstract:

Objective   To discuss the clinical effects of 810 nm laser photocoagulation on local rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Methods   34 cases (34 eyes) with local rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated with 810nm laser photocoagulation. The vision and reattached retina were assessed after 1 year. Results   1 year after 810nm laser photocoagulation treatment, the retina reattached in 32 eyes and remained unattached in 2 eyes. Retina reattachment was achieved in the 2 eyes after scleral buckling surgery. A new retinal break was found in 3 cases and no further break was found after supplementary laser photocoagulation. No recurrence was found during the follow-up period. Conclusion   810nm laser photocoagulation provides an effective treatment for local rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
