Argon green vs. krypton red laser photocoagulation for extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration: 3-year results of a multicentre randomized trial. Canadian Ophthalmology Study Group.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether argon green laser (AGL) or krypton red laser (KRL) is superior for the treatment of well-defined extrafoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after 3 years of follow-up. DESIGN: Multicentre randomized clinical trial.
