Abstract

72 patients (72 eyes) were examined with flat diffuse or focal diabetic macular edema up to 500 microns high. Patients were divided into two groups. The first group included 40 patients (40 eyes) with a treatment using a Supra 532 laser (Quantel Medical, France). The second group (control group) included 32 patients (32 eyes) with a treatment using a Supra 577 laser (Quantel Medical, France). Significant decrease of macular edema and increase of focal threshold were statistically achieved in both groups. At the same time, a statistically significant difference in the treatment efficacy between the first and second groups was not detected.

Keywords
