Abstract:
A laser treatment apparatus for irradiating an affected area of a patient with a treatment laser beam, the apparatus including:a laser source which emits the treatment laser beam;an irradiation optical system for delivering the treatment laser beam emitted from the laser source to the affected area to irradiate it;an aiming light delivery optical system for forming plural aiming light beams so that an optical axis of the treatment laser beam irradiation optical system is put between the aiming light beams, and delivering the plural aiming light beams to the affected area so that the aiming light beams are focused on a position on which the treatment laser beam is to be focused;manual rotation means for manually rotating the aiming light beams about the irradiation optical axis;automatic rotation means for automatically rotating the aiming light beams about the irradiation optical axis; andselection means for selecting a mode to rotate the aiming light beams from a manual rotation mode conducted by the manual rotation means and an automatic rotation mode conducted by the automatic rotation means.
