Abstract

CONCLUSION Recently, the selective retina therapy (SRT), a new approach to conventional photocoagulation, has been introduced for treatment of diabetic retinopathy, age-related maculopathy and a variety of other eye diseases. The SRT confines the induced laser lesions to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), leaving the neural retina unaffected. If the proper dose of energy is applied during SRT, the lesions remain ophthalmologically invisible. In this study, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is evaluated as a new approach for dosimetry and therapy control during SRT using samples of dissected porcine eyes.
