We present two cases of radiation retinopathy treated with the krypton red laser (647 nm). The macular edema and exudates resolved completely after treatment, but visual acuity improved only partially due to the development of a lamellar macular hole. The rationale for laser therapy and the selection of the red wavelength are discussed.
