Аннотация

BACKGROUND

There are few reports in the literature to describe the natural history of an occupational Nd:YAG laser-induced retinal injury.

METHODS

The chronological response to a Nd:YAG laser-induced injury was studied in a 48-year-old male using the techniques of color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography. When he developed choroidal neovascularization his response to photodynamic therapy with verteporfin was recorded.

RESULTS

The patient initially developed a macular hole, which spontaneously closed. Three months after the injury a choroidal neovascular membrane developed. This stabilized after the use of photodynamic therapy.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgical closure of Nd:YAG induced macular holes should be delayed to allow spontaneous closure. Photodynamic therapy was successful in treating choroidal neovascularization in this case.
