A Review of Subthreshold Micropulse Laser and Recent Advances in Retinal Laser Technology

The role of retinal photocoagulation as a first line therapy for various retinal pathologies has decreased with the introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. However, retinal laser therapy remains an important treatment modality, especially with the emergence of micropulse sub...

description The role of retinal photocoagulation as a first line therapy for various retinal pathologies has decreased with the introduction of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy. However, retinal laser therapy remains an important treatment modality, especially with the emergence of micropulse subthreshold treatment and the integration of newer technology such as augmented reality and semi-automated delivery. This review summarizes current evidence for micropulse laser as a treatment modality and discusses the role of new technology such as augmented reality in the future of laser therapy.
