Micropulse is a laser modality that divides a continuous stream of laser into a number of short bursts separated by pauses (off time). According to the selected duty cycle, the laser stays on only 5%–15% of the time, thus generating less heat and preventing buildup of thermal heat with subsequent less damage to the retina than continuous-wave photocoagulation. Subthreshold micropulse laser emission without a visible burn endpoint appears to reduce the risk of structural and functional retinal laser damage, allowing treatment of foveal lesions without post-laser scotomas. It has been successfully used for diabetic macular edema and seems to be comparable to conventional argon laser.6 In 2003, Bandello et al were the first to propose subthreshold diode micropulse (SDM) photocoagulation for the treatment of CSC, showing positive results in a series of five cases.7 Ricci et al show...
