PURPOSE: Revealing the diode laser therapy's results in the diabetic macular edema. METHOD: The diabetic retinopathies in which macular photocoagulation has been performed (between Sept. 1996-Sept. 1998) are analyzed. The cases were selected according the ophthalmoscopy appearance: clinical significant macular edema. The technical features and the clinical and functional parameters' evolution after the treatment are described. RESULTS: Visual acuity's evolution has been stationary in 80% of cases. No complication during or after the macular photocoagulation with the diode laser has occurred.

Since 1990 it has become possible to perform Computerized Static Perimetry (PSC) in Romania too. It is presented the experience of University Eye Clinic Cluj with LED-PERS, a medium-performance perimeter, in early diagnosis of glaucoma and maculopathies. The author discusses the advantages and the limits of this method, from the point of view of the reliability indices and the quantification of results. The comments are valid for the other types of computerized static perimeters too.

Computerized perimetry, combining a previously existing examination technique with computer technology, has become the state of the act for visual field evaluation. There are described the conceptual basis and methodology of the examination, with special references about technical characteristics available for the clinicians. As a result of computerized perimetry, the visual field can be scrutinized analysed, interpreted, discovered and understood to a degree not previously possible, but the findings of testing must be treated critically in the light of reliability parameters and of the error possibilities.
