Abstract
A case of radiation induced retinopathy with neovascularisation arising from the optic disc and retina was treated with panretinal argon laser photocoagulation. Complete regression of the new vessels was observed within 2 weeks of therapy. The pathogenesis of neovascularisation in this condition is discussed.Keywords
