ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for pre-determining laser coagulation dosages and for monitoring laser photocoagulation during treatment by detection of radiation produced in the eye. Embodiments of the present invention comprise means for applying radiation to a target in an eye (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9) and means for detecting the radiation produced by the target having wavelengths different from the wavelength of the applied radiation (4, 200, 12 and 13). In various embodiments, the radiation produced by the target is fluorescence radiation, Raman radiation, two photon excitation radiation and so forth.
