Diabetic retinopathy study showed that photocoagulation reduced the 2-year incidence of severe visual loss by more than half in the eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, both with and without high-risk characteristics. The focal treatment was carried out in those eyes with macular edema. Early treatment diabetic retinopathy study recommended that scatter photocoagulation is not recommended for eyes with mild or moderate nonproliferative retinopathy. When retinopathy is more severe, scatter photocoagulation should be considered. Results demonstrated that, for eyes with macular edema, focal photocoagulation is effective in reducing the risk of moderate visual loss. The argument that patients ar
