研究目的
To investigate the efficacy of subthreshold nanopulse laser treatment for central serous chorioretinopathy (CCS) in the absence of any atrophy in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).
研究成果
The subthreshold nanopulse laser treatment with the 2RT? nanolaser is a safe and effective method for treating CCS without existing RPE defects, leading to significant improvements in visual acuity and macula sensitivity, and faster resolution of subretinal fluid compared to spontaneous resolution rates.
研究不足
The study is retrospective and non-randomized, with a relatively small sample size of 23 patients. The follow-up period was up to 12 months, which may not capture long-term effects. The study did not include a control group for direct comparison with spontaneous resolution rates.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of subthreshold nanopulse laser treatment using the 2RT? nanolaser for CCS patients without RPE defects. The study included 23 eyes of 23 patients followed up to 12 months.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients with CCS without detectable RPE changes were selected. Data included changes in corrected visual acuity, microperimetry, and subretinal fluid height from OCT images.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The 2RT? nanolaser (Ellex Medical Laser Ltd.), Spectral-Domain-OCT (CIRRUS HD, Carl Zeiss Meditec), MAIA microperimeter (CENTERVUE S. P. A.), and Ultraweitwinkelkamera California (Optos, Inc.) were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser treatment was performed with grid stimulation. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis was performed using MATLAB and WinSTAT, including Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
