Nd: YAG laser puncture for spontaneous premacular hemorrhage

چکیده
Herein we report a clinical case of premacular hemorrhage treated with neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG laser puncture). A 34-year-old Chinese female was administrated to the clinics with complaints of sudden vision loss of left eye (LE) several days before. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was reduced to light perception. Fundoscopy showed a large and dense premacular hemorrhage. Nd: YAG laser puncture was performed to drain the hemorrhage into the vitreous. The premacular hemorrhage cleared in about 2 weeks and the BCVA recovered to 20/20. Nd: YAG laser puncture for treating premacular hemorrhage is safe and effective.

متن کاملCryotherapy is more effective and faster than Q-switched Nd-YAG laser fordepigmentation in universal vitiligo patients
Background: Although cryotherapy has been reported as atechnique for depigmenting residual pigmented patches inpatients with universal vitiligo, Q-switched Nd-YAG lasershave not yet been used for this purpose. The aim of this studywas to compare the efficacy of cryotherapy with that of 532nmQ-switched Nd-YAG laser therapy for depigmentation in patientswith universal vitiligo.Method: Six adult p...
متن کاملInfluence of shielding gas composition on weld structure in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding
This work studied the effect of additions of carbon dioxide to argon shielding gas on the weld shape and microstructure of ST14 steel in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding. By additions of carbon dioxide up to 15%,the weld area and depth/width ratio decreases while rising of carbon dioxide up to 25% causes increasing of weld area and depth/width ratio. It is observed that the weld metal microstructur...

Here, we report the case of a patient who sustained Nd: YAG laser macular injury with subsequent 6 year follow-up evaluation. A 23-year-old female was accidentally exposed to a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser without protective goggles. Upon initial evaluation, the best-corrected visual acuity of her affected eye was 20/100 OD. Fundoscopic examination revealed a macular laser burn and vitreous hemorrh...
