01
Overview
Retinal tissue, composed of neural and vascular elements, is the target of laser photocoagulation. This procedure aims to treat various retinal diseases by creating controlled thermal burns that induce scarring, seal leaking blood vessels, destroy abnormal new vessel growth, and stabilize the retina. The goal is to prevent further vision loss, although some degree of collateral damage to healthy tissue is possible.

02
Mechanism of action
Laser photocoagulation induces thermal damage to retinal tissue, leading to coagulation, scarring, and destruction of abnormal vessels or sealing of retinal breaks.
03
Biological functions
VisionLight detectionImage processingNeurotransmissionAngiogenesis (in disease)Fluid homeostasis
04
Disease associations
Diabetic retinopathyMacular edemaAge-related macular degeneration (AMD)Retinal vein occlusionRetinal tears and holesRetinal detachment
05
Safety considerations
Vision loss (peripheral or central)Scotomas (blind spots)Blurred visionIncreased light sensitivityAccidental burns to unintended retinal areas
06
Interacting drugs
Anti-VEGF agents (e.g., bevacizumab, ranibizumab, aflibercept) - Note: these are often used in conjunction with or as alternatives to laser photocoagulation
07
Biomarkers
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings (e.g., retinal thickness, subretinal fluid)Fluorescein angiography findings (e.g., leakage from blood vessels)Visual acuity
