Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy - High Risk
Conditions
Keywords
Diabetic retinopathy, Laser photocoagulation, Fluorescein angiography
Brief summary
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a vision-threatening disease that can lead to irreversible visual loss. The treatment options for proliferative diabetic retinopathy are anti-VEGF injection and retinal photocoagulation. The study aims to compare ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography-based targeted retinal photocoagulation and panretinal photocoagulation in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
