Macular phototoxicity is known to occur with laser use, and there is evidence that the wavelength of the light used influences this effect. In this study, a computer based colour contrast sensitivity test was used to assess the immediate macular effects of photocoagulation of peripheral flat retinal holes in otherwise normal retinas, using blue-green (488 and 514 nm), yellow (577 nm), orange (595 nm) or red (647 nm) laser light. The laser aiming beam was not allowed to traverse the macula at any stage during treatment. No protan or deutan axis threshold changes were noted in the 17 patients tested irrespective of the laser wavelength used. Tritan axis sensitivity was significantly reduced one hour after treatment with the blue-green laser, but no tritan axis change was found after treatment with longer wavelength lasers. The effect was no longer present the day after treatment in the subjects tested. The results show that even peripheral retinal treatment with blue-green laser can cause acute macular phototoxicity.
