Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Biomedical Optics
Laser Physics

Context:

Extensive research in the 1970s-1980s established laser photocoagulation principles.
Clinical applications for various fundus diseases were deduced during this foundational period.

Purpose:

To provide an overview of the physical principles of laser-tissue interactions in retinal treatments.
To discuss specific laser strategies and their impact on different retinal diseases.

Summary:

Examines how laser parameters (wavelength, spot size, pulse duration, power) affect ocular tissues.
Details biological tissue reactions post-laser treatment for conditions including retinopexy, macular diseases, and diabetic retinopathy.
Presents and discusses advanced techniques like Selective Retinal Treatment (SRT) and Transpupillary Thermotherapy (TTT).
