Induced corneal vascularization remission with argon laser therapy
J. W. Reed, C. Fromer and G. K. Klintworth
Vascularization was induced in rabbit corneas by the application of silver
nitrate. Argon laser photocoagulation was applied to the entire length of
these corneal vessels with relatively long pulses of energy. Untreated
areas of vascularization were used as controls. There was a decrease in the
corneal vascularization in the treated areas that exceeded any natural
tendency toward remission. The results suggest the efficacy of inducing a
remission of corneal vascularization with argon laser photocoagulation.
