Abstract
The present invention relates to an ophthalmic treatment device, a control method therefor and a fundus lesion treatment method, the ophthalmic treatment device comprising: a treatment beam generation unit for generating a treatment beam; a beam delivery unit for forming a path through which the treatment beam generated from the treatment beam generating unit is irradiated into a patient's fundus; and a control unit for controlling the beam delivery unit to irradiate the treatment beam into a location adjacent to the lesion area of the fundus.
Claims16
An ophthalmic treatment device, comprising:
- a treatment beam generation unit that generates a treatment beam;
- a beam delivery unit that forms a path that radiates the treatment beam generated in the treatment beam generation unit to a patient's fundus;
- and
- a controller that controls the beam delivery unit to radiate the treatment beam to one or more locations adjacent to a lesion area of the fundus, the one or more locations being outside the lesion area and separated by a predetermined gap or more from a boundary of the lesion area,
- wherein the controller controls to radiate the treatment beam to the one or more locations that are separated by at least one RPE cell size from the boundary of the lesion area so as to prevent the lesion area from expanding, and
- wherein the lesion area of the fundus is any one of an area in which geography angiography has occurred, an area in which drugen is formed, an area in which blood leakage has occurred, and an area in which macular edema is formed.
A method of treating a fundus lesion, the method comprising:
- determining a lesion area using a patient's fundus image;
- and
- radiating a treatment beam to a plurality of locations adjacent to a boundary of the lesion area,
- wherein the radiating of the treatment beam comprises radiating the treatment beam at the plurality of locations separated by a predetermined gap or more from the boundary of the lesion area, and
- wherein the plurality of locations where the treatment beam is radiated are separated by at least one RPE cell size from the boundary of the lesion area so as to prevent the lesion area from expanding, and
- wherein the lesion area of the fundus is any one of an area in which geography angiography has occurred, an area in which drugen is formed, an area in which blood leakage has occurred, and an area in which macular edema is formed.
