Fırat Üniv. Tıp Fak. Göz Hast AD. We treated 14 eyes of 13 patients with equatorial photocoagulation who are in high risk group for retinal detachment. Patients have either peripheral retinal degeneration or one of the retinal hole, tear or dialysis. Except transient accommodation insufficiency in one patient, no complication have been established due to photocoagulation.
