Abstract
Retinal capillary nonperfusion in fire posterior pole of diabetic eyes appears to progress relatively slowly. In view of this rate of progre ssion and the higher complication rate of posterior (central) panretin al photocoagulation, consideration should be given, in select cases, f or initial treatment of high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy w ith Blankenship's technique of peripheral panretinal photocoagulation.
