Subretinal new vessels after krypton laser photocoagulation
I. H. Wallow, F. L. Myers, Y. M. Kim and C. Bindley
The eye of a patient with age-related macular degeneration was treated with
krypton laser photocoagulation and later studied histopathologically. Five
months after treatment the original membrane was completely obliterated,
but a separate new membrane was found, which was fed by the retinal
circulation and not by the choroid. The frequency of such recurrences is
not known, but they may be related to krypton laser treatment.
