Treatment of Laser Induced Retinal Injuries
Abstract
The clinical significance of our study lies in the demonstration of the efficacy of steroid treatment in suppression of the laser induced inflammatory reaction when started immediately after exposure. It also indicated the need for a search for other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory the need for a search for other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to completely inhibit the late phases of the laser induced inflammatory response. Our finding that Nd:YAG induced inflammatory reaction was of higher magnitude than that of argon exposed eyes, and involved a pronounced leukotriene response has a military importance indicating that antileukotriene drugs should be sought for the treatment of Nd:YAG laser exposed eyes.
