Method for minimally invasive, cell-selective laser therapy on the eye

A laser system for a minimally invasive, cell-selective laser therapy at the eye, comprising:

• a frequency-doubled, continuously operating solid-state laser with a pumping source and a control unit;
• wherein the control unit is configured to regulate the pump source such that the solid-state laser selectively emits individual pulses with pulse lengths between 50 ns and continuous,
• wherein the control unit is further configured to allow a user to select the pulse lengths in first a range from 50 ns to 50 μs for selective therapies and in a second range from 50 μs to continuously for coagulative or stimulating therapies, and wherein an energy density of the pulses emitted by the laser varies in dependence of the pulse length.

A laser system for selective laser trabeculoplasty, wherein the solid-state laser emits individual pulses with pulse length in a range of 50 ns-500 ns, with spot sizes of 50 μm to 100 μm for an individual pulse, which are set in a dense packing, in particular as a square spot adjacent to each other, with a maximum pattern of 400×400 μm2.
