Choriovitreal and subretinal proliferations: complications of photocoagulation

Ophthalmology. 1979 Feb;86(2):283-9. doi: 10.1016/s0161-6420(79)35525-7.

Abstract

Ten choriovitreal and three subretinal fibrovascular proliferations were seen after heavy focal photocoagulation of diabetic retinopathy. These complications were believed to be caused by the use of a small spot size with high energy.
