A luminescent ophthalmic device for placing a therapeutic agent into a treatment position, the device comprising:
- a light transmissive wand;
- a wand tip connected to the wand, the wand tip including a receptacle disposed within the wand tip, the receptacle configured to hold the therapeutic agent;
- and
- at least two luminescent markers disposed around the receptacle in the wand tip, the luminescent markers highlighting a boundary of the receptacle within the wand tip when viewed through transpupillary viewing methods;
- the luminescent markers activated by light propagated through the light transmissive wand.
The device of claim 1, wherein the at least two luminescent markers include a phosphorescent marker.
A device for placing a therapeutic agent into a treatment position, the device comprising:
- a light transmissive wand;
- a non-retractable wand tip connected to the wand, the wand tip including a cavity disposed within the wand tip, the cavity configured to hold a therapeutic agent;
- and
- at least two luminescent markers disposed around the cavity in the wand tip, the markers highlighting a boundary of the cavity within the wand tip when viewed through transpupillary viewing methods;
- the reference point markers activated by light propagated through the light transmissive wand, wherein the light transmissive wand is implemented as a longitudinal, light-transmissive element configured to direct light propagation to the at least two luminescent markers.
