Subthreshold photocoagulation is one of the treatments for diabetic macular edema. However, the range of adequate laser energy that can be used for subthreshold photocoagulation is very restricted. Therefore, determination of the titration settings for the threshold energy is an essential part of the subthreshold-photocoagulation procedure. This study examined factors influencing the threshold energy used in subthreshold photocoagulation for diabetic macular edema.
