Diabetic macular edema: Swelling of the retina in diabetes mellitus due to leaking of fluid from blood vessels within the macula. The macula is the central portion of the retina, a small area rich in cones, the specialized nerve endings that detect color and upon which daytime vision depends. As macular edema develops, blurring occurs in the middle or just to the side of the central visual field. Visual loss from diabetic macular edema can progress over a period of months and make it impossible to focus clearly. Macular edema in common in diabetes. The lifetime risk for diabetics to develop macular edema is about 10%. The condition is closely associated with the degree of diabetic retinopathy (retinal disease). Hypertension (high blood pressure) and fluid retention also increase the hydrostatic pressure within capillaries which drives fluid from within the vessels into the retina. A common cause of fluid retention in diabetes is kidney disease with loss of protein in the urine (protein...

Use of the argon laser to close filtering bleb leaks Received: 13 August 1991 Accepted: 3 March 1992 Abstract We attempted to seal 15 consecutive filtering bleb leaks in 11 patients using argon laser energy. Eight leaks were at the conjunctival-corneal interface associated with a fornix-based flap, 4 leaks resulted from suture scissoring of the conjunctiva, and 3 leaks were button-holes in the conjunctiva. Thirteen leaks occurred within 2 weeks after filtering surgery, while 2 were of late onset. Argon laser parameters used were a 500-m spot size, 0.1-s time interval, and between 500 and 1800 mW of power. Thirteen leaks were sealed after one or two laser sessions, while 2 leaks required other treatment modalities. Complications included conjunctival fenestration and transient corneal stromal opacities. This study suggests that the argon laser can be used to seal filtering bleb leaks in many patients following filtering surgery. Supported in part by a grant from Research to Prevent B...

J Fr Ophtalmol. 1998 Aug-Sep;21(7):495-500. [Retinal detachment following YAG laser section of vitreous strands. Apropos of 3 cases] Benhamou N, Glacet-Bernard A, Le Mer Y, Quentel G, Perrenoud F, Coscas G, Soubrane G. Clinique Ophtalmologique Universitaire de Créteil. Abstract PURPOSE: Retinal detachment after Nd: YAG laser vitreolysis is rarely reported. The pathogenic role of Nd: YAG laser is analyzed from 3 cases of severe retinal detachment. METHODS: Three men aged (40 to 59 years old) had one or more risk factors for retinal detachment: myopia, complicated cataract surgery, personal or family history of retinal detachment. Nd: YAG laser treatment onto vitreous strand was performed because of: retinal traction, repeated vitreous hemorrhage, anterior vitreous strand in a aphakic patient with cystoid macular edema. Within six weeks following Nd: YAG laser vitreolysis, severe retinal detachment with several tears occurred, complicated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy in two patie...
