Retinal function immediately after Nd.YAG-laser treatment.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Nd.YAG-laser treatment on retinal function. All the patients treated showed a temporary decrease of visual acuity immediately after treatment. The ERG and EOG recordings were identical before and after treatment. The Umazume-Ohta test showed temporary central or paracentral relative field defects in all cases investigated.
