Early acute change process after retinal laser injury / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Laser-induced retinal damage is a gradual and progressive process, yet there remains a dire need for safe and effective therapeutic drugs and preventive measures to mitigate and treat this condition. Currently, the exploration of treatment options for laser-induced retinal damage is still in its experimental phase. This review delves into the histopathological, functional, and molecular expression levels of the retina after acute laser injury. It aims to uncover the acute changes that occur following laser injury, identify the optimal window period for intervention, and hypothesize the best time for treatment to rescue residual cells and preserve remaining vision.
