Panretinal Photocoagulation

Panretinal photocoagulation is a procedure used to treat abnormally growing blood vessels in the retina of the eye using laser assistance. In particular, in diabetic retinopathy patients, these abnormal vessels can lead to leakage, swelling, and vision loss. Panretinal photocoagulation alleviates the effects of these damaged vessels and halts the progression of the disease by using laser light.

Advantages:

• Effectiveness: The risk of vision loss is significantly reduced in nearly all cases.
• Reliability: Being a laser treatment, it carries less risk compared to surgical interventions.
• Speed: The procedure is quick and typically performed on an outpatient basis.

Treatment Process:

Patient Preparation:

• Eye drops are used to dilate the pupil.
• Local anesthesia is applied.

Laser Treatment:

• Abnormal blood vessels on the retina are targeted.
• Laser energy is used to close the vessels.

Post-Treatment:

• Typically performed in several sessions.
• Mild pain may occur after the procedure.
• Temporary blurred vision may occur.
