Micropulsed Laser in Patients With Macular Oedema in Retinal Dystrophies
Sponsor: Fondazione G.B. Bietti, IRCCS
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether subthreshold treatment with micropulsed laser can be effective in resolving macular edema in patients with inherited retinal dystrophy. Visits will be performed after 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months after treatment. Laser treatment will be performed on the day of the first visit, and its repetition at subsequent visits between months 3 and 12 will be evaluated. Evaluations of treatment effects will include: * comprehensive ophthalmologic examination * multifocal electroretinogram * OCT examination * OCT-angiography examination * retinography Primary endpoint. \- central retinal thickness, measured by OCT
