[Laser treatment of macular subretinal neovascularization in angioid streaks].
The authors examined 17 eyes with macular subretinal neovascularization in angioid streaks treated by direct laser photocoagulation. Two eyes were treated with dye laser (590 nm), two with blue-green argon, three with green argon and ten with red krypton laser. At twelve-month follow-up, the visual acuity was of 0.21, a statistically significant decrease respect to the presenting vision. Poor functional results are due to the frequent recurrences of neovascularization.
