Abstract Thirty-five patients with diabetic retinopathy were treated with cryoapplication. This was used as an alternative to Argon laser or Zenon photocoagulation because the media was opaque from vitreous hemorrhage or cataract. It was difficult or impossible to treat with photocoagulation. The clinical impression indicates that cryoapplication is effective, showing adequate pigmentation and chorioretinal scarring with regression of diabetic retinopathy changes. However patients with vitreo-retinal fibrosis became frequently worse weeks later. This is considered a contraindication. The use of cryoapplication in diabetic retinopathy is recommended in situations where the ocular media is not clear, such as vitreous hemorrhage and cataract. It can also be used if there is difficulty with laser photocoagulation following lens implantation. It may be valuable in some developing countries where photocoagulation is not available. Cryomachines are frequently used in eye camps. It is inexpensive and does not necessarily require electricity.
