METHOD OF LASER TREATMENT OF FUSED DRUSEN IN CASE OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61F9/08 A61N5/67 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to ophthalmology, in particular to methods and devices for treatment of eyes with application of laser and is intended for performing impact on soft drusen by sub-threshold micropulse infrared laser. Laser coagulation with individual selection of power is performed. Sub-threshold micropulse impact with infrared diode 810 nm laser is applied. Coagulants with diameter 1.8 mcm in quantity from 8 to 10 are located in projection of soft drusen around foveolar zone and continuous circular spot is created by their superposition on each other. Each following coagulant overlaps the previous one on 1/8, after which last coagulant is applied in the centre of fovea area.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to perform single impact on macular zone, achieve even distribution of energy in it, reduce treatment terms, reduce number of drusen, increase vision acuity and prevent disease recurrences.
