“…The treatment is still controversial because many sea fans regress spontaneously, especially in older SS patients, in whom the incidence of blindness is very small [24]. Photocoagulation has been the most widely used method for treatment of stage III PR [25,26]. This type of treatment has been effective and safe and prevents subsequent complications [25].…”

“…Photocoagulation has been the most widely used method for treatment of stage III PR [25,26]. This type of treatment has been effective and safe and prevents subsequent complications [25]. Considering the fact that ocular changes that affect patients with SCD are the consequences of a complex systemic pathophysiological process, prevention of these ocular complications can be achieved through the use of new drugs that focus on the physiopathology of the disease at multiple points, including HbS polymerization, erythrocyte density and cell-cell interactions [24].…”

“…Initially, all feeder arterioles are treated, followed by treatment of the draining venules with less intensity. Some com plications, including VH, rupture of Bruch's membrane, choroidal hemorrhage and ischemia, retinal tears and choroidal neovasculari zation, can occur (60,68,69,71,72) . The photocoagulation technique currently used (74) consists of sectorial treatment of the SF.…”

“…Um tratamento seguro e efetivo está disponível para a maioria das complicações oculares da DF: paracentese para hifema, tratamento cirúrgico para hemorragia vítrea e do descolamento de retina. 3,4,6,37 Os neovasos devem ser submetidos à fotocoagulação com laser assim que detectados. 3,6,37 Essa técnica pode beneficiar muitos pacientes com retinopatia proliferativa.…”

“…3,4,6,37 Os neovasos devem ser submetidos à fotocoagulação com laser assim que detectados. 3,6,37 Essa técnica pode beneficiar muitos pacientes com retinopatia proliferativa. A cegueira pode ser evitada em uma porcentagem significativa de pacientes que, tendo desenvolvido trações retinianas fibróticas, forem encaminhados ao oftalmologista para receber tratamento apropriado.…”
