Abstract

The authors presented methods and results of treatment by means of an argon laser of 12 patients with pathological changes of the retinal vessels. Diagnosed in these patients were: capillary haemangioma (Hippel-Lindau disease), teleangiectasis and macroaneurysms of the retinal vessels. Photocoagulation by argon laser of these vascular changes in these patients in right time showed to be a favourable therapeutic method, especially when the changes are localized in the posterior pole of the eye.
