Comparison of the 1-Year Visual and Anatomical Outcomes between Subthreshold Red (670 nm) and Yellow (577 nm) Micro-Pulse Laser Treatment for Diabetic Macular Edema
We investigated the efficacy and safety of red (670 nm) subthreshold micropulse laser (SMPL) treatment for diabetic macular edema (DME) and compared the 1-year treatment outcomes of red and yellow (577 nm) SMPL for DME. A medical chart review was performed in 43 consecutive eyes of 35 patients who underwent red or yellow SMPL treatment for DME and were followed up for 12 months. There were 26 and 17 eyes in the yellow and red SMPL groups, respectively. The mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was maintained throughout the follow-up period of 12 months in the yellow and red SMPL groups (p = 0.39, p = 0.70, respectively). The central retinal thickness (CRT) measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was significantly decreased at 12 months from baseline in the yellow and red SMPL groups (p = 0.047, p = 0.03, respectively). Although the amount of CRT reduction in the red SMPL group was significantly greater than that in the yellow SMPL group at 8 months from baseline (p = 0.02), the significance disappeared at the final follow-up period (p = 0.44). The red SMPL maintained the BCVA in patients with center-involving DME. The mean CRT in the red SMPL group significantly decreased, and the amount of CRT reduction was equivalent to that in the yellow SMPL group.
