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.
Claims20
A treatment device, comprising:
- a treatment beam generation unit generating a treatment beam;
- a beam delivery unit delivering the treatment beam generated in the treatment beam generation unit to a patient's treatment area;
- and
- a controller controlling at least one of the treatment beam generation unit and a beam delivery unit to radiate the treatment beam to one or more locations adjacent to a lesion area of the treatment area without radiating the treatment beam to the lesion area, the one or more locations being outside the lesion area and separated from a boundary of the lesion area so as to prevent the lesion area from expanding.
A method of treating a lesion of a patient, the method comprising:
- determining a lesion area using an image of a treatment area comprising the lesion;
- radiating a treatment beam to a plurality of locations adjacent to a boundary of the lesion area so as to prevent the lesion area from expanding,
- wherein the radiating of the treatment beam comprises radiating the treatment beam at the plurality of locations being outside the lesion area and separated from the boundary of the lesion area without radiating the treatment beam to the lesion area.
