Modified Low Power Mode Laser for the Treatment of Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

PURPOSE: Low power mode (LPM) can be used for subthreshold retinal laser treatment by simply adjusting the laser parameters. Herein, we report the use of a modified LPM laser treatment for four cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR).

PATIENTS AND

METHODS

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of four patients (four eyes) with persistent CSCR who underwent modified LPM laser for leakage. The laser power was first titrated with a barely visible burn, and then treatment was applied using 33% laser energy by manually adjusting the laser power and duration.

RESULTS

Serous retinal detachment completely resolved in all cases by 2 months after treatment. Autofluorescence images did not show any specific changes induced by laser burns.

CONCLUSION

A modified LPM laser may provide a feasible treatment for persistent CSCR.
