ABSTRACT
Diabetic maculopathy which is the major cause of blindness in nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, has been treated clinically with laser photocoagulation. We reviewed 21 cases(26 eyes) of diabetic maculopathy which were treated by focal laser treatment and followed up for more than 6 months from January 1984 to December 1988. The results were as follows 1. There was improvement of the visual acuity in 19 eyes(71.1%), no changes in 5 eyes(19.2%), and only two eyes(7.7%) showed worsened visual acuity. 2. The two eyes which showed worsened visula acuity after treatment showed stage IV of diabetic maculopathy.
