BACKGROUND: In the literature laser treatment in @entity2994 ( @entity2994 ) is established to prevent @entity1539 . We investigated the relationship of morphological and fluorescein angiographic findings with the results of laser treatment. @entity1 AND METHODS: In 70 (56%) of 125 examined @entity1 with @entity2994 laser treatment was performed. Indications were either @entity5327 or @entity1103 with visual acuity < or = 0.5. RESULTS: The results compare visual acuity before and after laser treatment (three months and 11.5 months on average) examined by Wilcoxon-test. There was no significant improvement in visual acuity (p = 0.62). After laser treatment 3 (9%) @entity1 with @entity63 @entity2994 developed @entity1539 and 2 (6%) @entity2297 . There was no correlation between visual outcome and @entity63 type (non @entity63 type p = 0.61, @entity63 type p = 0.67), @entity1020 (cystoid macula @entity4 p = 0.87, @entity63 @entity1020 p = 0.5) and internal diseases ( @entity101 p = 0.43, @entity6 p = 0.74). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that there is no significant visual improvement in @entity1 with @entity2994 after laser treatment. There are no morphological and angiographic findings indicating a subgroup with good visual prognosis.
