Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention provides a method that captures a diagnostic image of a retina having at least one lesion, wherein the lesion includes a plurality of spots to be treated. Information is received from a user interface, wherein the information includes a duration, intensity, and/or wavelength of treatment for each of the spots. A real-time image of the retina is captured; and, a composite image is created by linking the diagnostic image to the real-time image. At least one updated real-time image of the retina is obtained using eye tracking and/or image stabilization; and, an annotated image is created by modifying the composite image based on the updated real-time image. A localized laser beam is delivered to each of the spots according to the information, the composite image, and the annotated image.
