The impact of spot size, spacing, pattern, duration and intensity of burns on the photocoagulation index in a geometric simulation of pan‐retinal laser photocoagulation

To evaluate the impact of spot size, spacing, pattern, duration and intensity of burns on the photocoagulation index, using a geometric simulation of pan-retinal laser photocoagulation.Simulations of full-scattered pan-retinal laser photocoagulation were performed on a retinal map, using a geometry-based method. Simulations consisted of 300-, 400- or 500-μm diameter equidistant spots on the retina with 1.0-spot width spacing, as well as 400-μm...
