Study of clinical applications and safety for Pascal® laser photocoagulation in retinal vascular disorders

Purpose:  To establish safe laser parameter standards for 10–30 ms Pascal® laser in clinical practice and to evaluate clinical and visual outcomes using this 532‐nm multi‐spot photocoagulation system.
