[Vision aids for patients with senile exudative macular degeneration. Comparison of spontaneous fibrovascular scars and scotomas induced by photocoagulation].
Aging exudative macular degeneration frequently results in a fibrovascular scar which entails the loss of central vision. This scar implies an often large and deep scotoma which makes it very difficult for the patient to be fitted with low-vision aids. A Goldmann static perimetry study of retinal sensitivity in the treated areas showed that krypton laser at liminar doses does not induce deep scotomas.
