Abstract: Objective To investigate the method and effect of krypton laser photocoagulation for neovascularization in retinal vein occlusion. Methods Tweenty eight eyes of 27 patients with retinal vein occlusion with neovascularization were photocoagulated by krypton-green and-red laser.The fundus changes were observed by fundus fluorescein angiography after photocoagulation. Results The neovascularization disappeared completely in 20 eyes and became smaller in 6 eyes,remained no-change in 2 eyes,and the visual acuity improved in 17 eyes (60.7%) after 6 monthes to 2.5 years of follow-up. Conclusion Krypton laser photocoagulation is obviously effective on regression of neovascularization and prevenion of vitreous hemorrhage in retinal vein occlusion.
