✦ Synopsis

The authors have been using an argon laser photocoagulator equipped with a green filter for about 2% years. Compared to the usual blue-green argon laser, the advantage of such an instrument is that green radiation is not absorbed to any significant degree by macular pigment. This ensures a selective action on hemoglobin and pigment epithelium. The green wavelength appears to be extremely useful in the management of macular disorders.

The authors report the criteria they follow and the technique they use in the treatment of subretinal neovascular membranes and of macular edema arising from different retinal vascular disorders.

During the years 1979-1982 we treated by argon laser photocoagulation 863 eyes of 551 patients affected by peripheral retinal degenerations and breaks. No case of progression to retinal detachment has been registered so far. In the same period, we treated 42 patients affected by retinal detachment
