| titleOfInvention | RECOGNITION AND TREATMENT OF VESSEL FORMATION IN THE EYE. |
| abstract | The method and apparatus allow a neovascular membrane in the ocular vasculature of the fundus of the eye (22) to be identified and treated while minimizing damage to the sensory retina (4). First, a bolus of fluorescent dye is injected and allowed to circulate through the ocular vasculature. When the fundus is diffusely irradiated with laser energy from a first laser (26), dye present in the vasculature fluoresces. A neovascular membrane is identified when a particular area of fluorescence differs from the fluorescence of the surrounding normal vasculature. To treat the neovascular membrane, a second laser (66) is focused on the site of the membrane and a second bolus of fluorescent dye is injected. When the presence of the second injection of dye is detected, energy from the focused laser (66) is applied to damage or destroy the neovascular membrane. |
