Abstract:
1. Apparatus for treating a retina of a living eye with a laser, comprising a therapeutic laser with a source of pulsed electromagnetic radiation, a control device for controlling the intensity applied to the tissue and/or the irradiation duration of the therapeutic laser, and a detection device for detecting optoacoustic signals triggered by irradiating the living tissue with the pulsed electromagnetic radiation, wherein an evaluation device connected to the control device is used for calculating an evaluation measure B(t) for individual laser pulses on the basis of the optoacoustic signals detected by the detection device, and for determining a fit function f(t) at a predetermined point in time Δt the laser intensity and/or the irradiation time of the therapeutic laser being defined by the parameters determined for the fit function f(t).
