Treatment of Coats' disease with photocoagulation.

Abstract
71 eyes with Coats' disease were treated with photocoagulation. By coagulation of the abnormal vessels the disease process could be halted in 64 eyes over a mean observation time of 2 years and 3 months after completion of treatment. In 51 of these eyes the lipoid deposits regressed. In only 7 eyes a progression of the disease could not be prevented. Complications of photocoagulation treatment were not observed.
