[Long-term study following photocoagulation in diabetic retinopathy]. / Langzeitbeobachtungen nach Photokoagulation bei diabetischer Retinopathie.

ABSTRACT

Diabetic Retinopathy can be stabilized for years by ophthalmological measures. Proliferation in slowed down by photocoagulation and laser coagulation, but they do not prevent other vascular complications. Angiopathy of the arteries and arterioles of the retina and optic nerve can lead to additional, unexpected complications.
