RESUMO
Seventy-five patients (75 eyes) with central involution chorioretinal dystrophy (non-exudative type at the progression stage) were followed up. All of them received low-intensity laser therapy. Irradiation of 890 nm, 644 nm and 500 nm was used in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The study purpose was to compare the efficiency of wavelengths. Visual acuity and retinal sensitivity were determined. The results were evaluated immediately after treatment and in 3 months. The maximal improvement in visual acuity and retinal sensitivity was in those who received 890 nm laser therapy; 500 nm irradiation--a less pronounced effect and 640 nm--the lowest one. We attribute such distribution of efficiency to a proliferation type of each irradiation range in the macular zone.
