Fourty‐nine eyes with exudative senile maculopathy (ESM) have been treated with argon laser photocoagulation. Fluorescein angiography studies were done pre‐ and postoperatively. The follow‐up time is 6 to 12 months after end of treatment. The results suggest a beneficial effect in selected cases of ESM.
