Abstract
This study was conducted to determine whether indirect grid laser therapy i
s effective in reducing focal diabetic macular edema characterised by focal
leaks and hard exsudates involving the para-foveal area (less than 300 mic
rons from the center of the fovea). Since focal coagulation of microaneurys
ms in such a critical location can be deleterious, indirect grid pattern la
ser treatment may be used in such cases.
