Abstract:
A process for preventing or treating myopia includes applying a pulsed energy, such as a pulsed laser beam, to tissue of an eye having myopia or a risk of having myopia. The source of pulsed energy has energy parameters including wavelength or frequency, duty cycle and pulse train duration, which are selected so as to raise an eye tissue temperature up to eleven degrees Celsius to achieve therapeutic or prophylactic effect, such as stimulating heat shock protein activation in the eye tissue. The average temperature rise of the eye tissue over several minutes is maintained at or below a predetermined level so as not to permanently damage the eye tissue.

Claim (Index 20):
A process for preventing or treating myopia, comprising the steps of:\n providing a pulsed light beam; applying the pulsed light beam to a plurality of retinal and/or foveal tissue areas of an eye that has myopia or is at a risk of having myopia, the light beam being applied to the plurality of eye tissue areas such that adjacent treated eye tissue areas are separated by at least a predetermined distance to avoid thermal tissue damage; wherein the light beam has light beam parameters, including wavelength or frequency, duty cycle and pulse train duration and power, selected and is applied to the eye tissue so as to stimulate heat shock protein activation in the eye tissue and achieve a therapeutic or prophylactic effect in the eye tissue while not permanently damaging the eye tissue.
