Authors' objectives:
To evaluate the available evidence on the effectiveness and safety of the PASCAL device for the treatment of retina conditions.
Authors' recommendations:
In general, the studies did not find statistically significant differences in treatment effectiveness, visual acuity or visual field changes post-treatment when using conventional laser or PASCAL. The main reported advantages when compared against conventional laser were decreased treatment time and pain. More controlled randomized studies are required to obtain a better level of evidence of this technology results.
