Abstract:Background: This study evaluates the clinical effectiveness of employing direct retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) laser photocoagulation as a technique for achieving chorioretinal adhesion to effectively seal retinal breaks. Methods: A total of 20 eyes from 20 patients were enrolled in the study; all selected eyes exhibited either rhegmatogenous or combined rhegmatogenous-tractional retinal detachment. During vitrectomy, direct RPE laser photocoagulation was executed, employing a power range of 100-150 mW and a… Show more
