Abstract

Navigated laser therapy introduces computerised assistance systems to retinal laser photocoagulation treatment. As main benefits over conventional laser, the Navilas system offers high precision and safety and provides additional advantages regarding standardisation of planning, execution, documentation, quality assurance and better overall treatment comfort for the patient. Navigated laser therapy is being used with good success in the treatment of diabetic macular oedema (DMO), retinal vein occlusions (RVO) and fast-pattern navigated panretinal photocoagulation in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). In centre-involving DMO, a combination of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and macular laser may provide advantages over anti-VEGF monotherapy. In terms of navigated laser therapy, recent study data from our clinic and other institutions indicate that combined initial anti-VEGF and navigated macular laser therapy allows treatment success to be achieved and maintained with a significantly reduced number of interventions.
