Summary: The diabetic maculopathy is the main therapeutic problem and the cause of poor visual acuity in diabetics with diabetic retinopathy. In this scientific project a comparative analysis of efficacy between focal extramacular and focal macular perifoveolar argon laser photocoagulation for the treatment of diabetic maculopathy was presented. The follow-up period was 12 months and was based on fluorescein angiograms and examination of visual acuity on international optotypes. Results of this project showed that focal macular perifoveolar technique gave better clinical and functional results than focal extarmacular technique in the treatment of diabetic maculopathy.

Keywords: diabetic maculopathy, argon laser, focal photocoagulation

Research goals: The aim of this project is to examine which of theese two actual techniques of focal photocoagulation, focal extramacular treatment and focal macular perifoveolar treatment, is more efficient in clinical and functional sense in the treatment of diabetic maculopathy and which one is to be applied in everyday work.
