Abstract The beneficial effect of photocoagulation in diabetic retinopathy is now established (2–6, 10). Whereas the capability of providing photocoagulation is widespread, the indications and actual techniques are poorly defined. In this paper, we propose to discuss the principles of photocoagulation. In a following paper the detailed techniques required for the treatment of individual lesions and of different types of retinopathy will be discussed.
