Micropulse Laser

New treatments for diabetic retinopathy are still required to obtain better visual and anatomic results. The global standard for treatment of diabetic retina is laser therapy. The use of anti-angiogenic drug is part of the additional measures of these traits.

 

Laser treatment has been defined and is used following a protocol called EDTRS, this protocol sets out how the laser should be applied to obtain better results.

 

A new type of laser has been released and is available for some special cases of diabetic retinopathy, the laser micropulse. This is technology similar to lasers used, but with a different application, enabling a closer approximation of central vision and increasing the laser stimulation in these areas to increase efficiency in the elimination of macular edema.
