Purpose. To identify any possible relation between glycaemic control and previous laser photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy.Methods. Seventy-two patients with diabetes were included in the study and were separated into 2 groups according to previous treatment (group A) or not (group B) with argon laser photocoagulation. Glycaemic control was estimated by measuring blood levels of HbA1c in four consecutive measurements.Results. Blood levels of HbA1c in group A were significantly lower 3, 6, and 12 months after laser treatment as compared to blood levels of HbA1c before laser treatment (7.1±0.4% versus7.6±0.9%,7.2±0.2% versus7.6±0.9%, and7.1±0.2% versus7.6±0.9%, resp., allP<0.05). Blood levels of HbA1c in group B did not differ significantly in four consecutive measurements.Conclusion. Our results suggest that we should anticipate a better glycaemic control in cases of patients with diabetes previously treated with laser photocoagulation.

The Mean

Purpose: To report on the outcome of conventional therapy in patients with Coats’ disease. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the charts of thirteen patients with Coats’ disease. Results: Mean age of 9 male (70%) and 4 female (30%) patients was 17.7 (range, 5-33) years; one female had bilateral disease. Eleven eyes with retinal telangiectasia and exudation were treated with argon laser photocoagulation alone or photocoagulation associated with cryotherapy; the mean follow up was 32.5 (range,17-41) years. In four eyes without foveal involvement (stage 2a) the mean presenting visual acuity (VA) remained at 0.8 or improved, whereas poor VA in seven stage 2b eyes deteriorated minimally over time. In one and two of the three eyes with total retinal detachment, phthisis or neovascular glaucoma ensued. Conclusion: About three decades after conventional treatment of Coats’ disease stage 2a, treated eyes maintained good VA, and stage 2b eyes did not progress to advanced stages.
