✦ Synopsis

The authors present a randomized study of 27 eyes affected by pathological myopia with macular subretinal neovascularization which were treated with a tunable dye laser. The effectiveness of three different wavelengths (577,590 and 620 nm) in the direct treatment of subretinal neovascularizations was evaluated in 3 groups of 9 patients each.

Statistical analysis of both visual and anatomical results did not show significant differences among the three wavelengths used.
