Photocoagulation of retinal pigment epithelial detachments has been advocated in the past. Thirteen patients were treated with argon laser photocoagulation. Twenty-four percent improved and seventy-six percent lost vision. The study concludes that scatter laser photocoagulation is not an effective way to treat these lesions.
