Objective: To compare two different laser strategies of panretinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy. Methods: Single-center, randomized study including 41 eyes treated with 577-nm multispot laser with a 20-ms pulse duration (group 1) or a 532-nm single-spot laser with a 100-ms pulse duration (group 2). The outcomes included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and imaging changes at baseline, 6 and 12 months, laser parameters, and results of subjective pain analysis. Results: At 12 months, the treatments did not differ significantly in BCVA, central retinal thicknesses (CRTs), improved macular edema, vitreomacular interface changes, patient-reported pain scores, or angiographic responses. Group 1 had significantly fewer treatment sessions but used more laser spots (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The multispot laser required fewer applications with more spots delivered to compensate for lower fluency, showing similar patient tolerance to single-spot laser. Both groups maintained the initial visual acuities and CRTs; about 50% of cases had vitreomacular interface changes and improved macular edema, with similar angiographic improvements after 12 months.
