To evaluate the tberapeutlc effect of diode laser photocoagulation trearment on eases of diabetic retinopathy with certain degree of refractive media opacity. METHODS: Diode laser photocoagulation treatment were given to 36 selected cases (40 eyes )of diabetic retinopathy who can not be treated with argon laser because of refractive media opacity, Before and after treatment,visual acuity and fundus were examined and fundus fluorescein angiography and retinal color photographp were taken. The follow-up period was 8~14 months (with an average of 11 months) RESULT:Visual acuity were improved or maintained in 29 eyes(about 73%)of the 34 eyes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy ,retinal new vessels partly or entirely regressed in 25 eyes(about 74%). CONCLUTION ;Tbe effect of diode laser treatment on patients with diabetic retinopatby with certain degree of lens/vitreous opacity is relatively safisfactory.
