  • Method and apparatus for controlling sub-clinical laser procedures with intra-operative monitoring of electrophysiological changes
    Patent number: 6733490
    Abstract: A method of monitoring and controlling the sub-threshold laser treatment of a patient's retina. Sensors are located on a patient to measure focal electroretinograms (FERG). A stimulating beam is delivered onto the patient's retina. A pre-treatment FERG signal is collected. Treatment FERG signals are collected while treating the retina with a sub-threshold laser treatment. A difference is determined between the pre-treatment and treatment FERG signals. The difference is used to control the termination of the treatment.
