Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effects of the retinal laser photocoagulation starting whether from the upper or lower half of the retinal layer with OCT. Material and Method: 44 eyes of 22 patients were included in the study. OCT was used to measure the macular and RNFL thickness starting at week 2, 3 months and 6 months after the laser. Results : The average age was 57 and the average HbA1c levels were 9.54. There were no statistically significant difference in macular thickness. There was no statistically significant difference in the group which the PRP was started from the lower retinal part (p<0.05). There was also statistically significant difference in the group which PRP was started from the upper retinal part (p<0.05). Conclusion: RNFL thickness increased in the 6 months post PRP. Furthermore, the macular thickness showed no significant diffrence throughout the 6 monhts of follow-up.

Özet

Amaç: Panretinal Lazer Fotokoagülasyonun (PRF) alt retinal yarı veya üst retinal yarıdan başlanmasının retina sinir lifi tabakası (RSLT) ve maküla kalınlığına etkisinin Optik Koherans Tomografi (OKT) ile incelenmesi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 22 olgunun 44 gözünde yapılmıştır. OKT başlangıç 2. hafta, 3. ve 6. aydaki lazer öncesi ve sonrası RSLT ve maküla kalınlıklarını ölçmek için kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 57 ve ortalama HbA1c düzeyi 9,54 idi. Maküla kalınlığında kontrol muayenelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamaktadır. Alt retinal yarıdan PRF başlanan gözlerde kontrollerde alt retinal yarı ortalama sinir lifi kalınlığı arasında istatistiksel olarakanlamlı farklılık bulunmaktadır (p<0,05). Üst retinal yarıdan PRP başlanan gözlerde ortalama sinir lifi kalınlıkları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmaktadır.(p<0,05).Sonuç: RNFL kalınlığında 6 aylık takiplerde artış saptanırken, maküler kalınlıkta klinik olarak anlamlı değişiklik saptanmamıştır
