Effect of Panretinal Photocoagulation on Optic Nerve Head Topography and Nerve Fiber Layer Parameters
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optic nerve head changes consequent to
panretinal photocoagulation done for diabetic retinopathy.
panretinal photocoagulation done for diabetic retinopathy.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Any patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy or severe non-proliferative
diabetic retinopathy otherwise undergoing panretinal photocoagulation for treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any patient with uncontrolled glaucoma (IOP above target on any occasion in the
preceding 6 months) or other optic neuropathy that may confound the analysis of optic
nerve head morphology.
- Patients with media opacities (significant cataract, corneal opacity, vitreous
hemorrhage) precluding imaging of the optic nerve.
- No PRP done in the previous 6 months.
