Abstract

Since 1966 photocoagulation has been performed in 52 cases and 54 eyes of choroiditis located on the posterior pole. The course of the cases treated is compared with a control group treated with drugs. Photocoagulation shortens the duration of the acute inflammatory process, decreases the frequency of recurrences by about 40% and improves the visual prognosis. The follow-up 1 year to 9 years later (average 7 years) showed in the control group a visual function of 0.5, in the treated group of 0.8.
