This study highlights the comparative efficacy of three different laser wavelengths--argon green, argon blue-green, and krypton red--for sector photocoagulation in fresh cases of branch retinal vein occlusion. The mean Logarithm of minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) improved in the argon green and argon blue-green groups but decreased in the krypton red group. Statistical analysis of the automated visual fields in these eyes showed a mean change in corrected pattern standard deviation value, with increase in all three groups--minimal increase in the argon blue-green group and maximal in the krypton red group, suggesting maximum visual field defect in the krypton laser group. To conclude, the green and the blue-green wavelengths gave results that were decidedly superior to those given by krypton red: further, argon blue-green had an edge over the green wavelength.
