Laser photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy classified into non-proliferative, preproliferative and proliferative forms is reviewed. Clinical aspects and pathophysiological mechanisms are examined to explain the rationale of laser photocoagulation. Focal and grid techniques are described for macular edema in non-proliferative retinopathy giving treatment parameters and wavelength characteristics. PRP (panretinal photocoagulation) is described for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Results and present trends are reported with indications and complications. Endophotocoagulation is then described as the technique utilized during pars plana vitrectomy in advanced diabetic retinopathy

Abstract
Laser photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy classified into non-proliferative, preproliferative and proliferative forms is reviewed. Clinical aspects and pathophysiological mechanisms are examined to explain the rationale of laser photocoagulation. Focal and grid techniques are described for macular edema in non-proliferative retinopathy giving treatment parameters and wavelength characteristics. PRP (panretinal photocoagulation) is described for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Results and present trends are reported with indications and complications. Endophotocoagulation is then described as the technique utilized during pars plana vitrectomy in advanced diabetic retinopathy
