Gatsu M.V., Gordeyeva M.V. FUNCTIONAL RESULTS OF THRESHOLD LASERCOAGULATION AT DIFFERENT SOFT MACULAR DRUSENThis study demonstrated functional results of threshold direct photocoagulation in eyes with different types of soft macular drusen. After 6 month-period of follow-up, the threshold photocoagulation of large soft macular drusen (similar to pigment epithelial detachment) leads to their regression, which is accompanied by increased retinal thickness and improved retinal sensitivity. Key words: soft macular drusen, age-related macular degeneration, photocoagulation of soft drusen, microperimetry.
