Abstract:
A process for heat treating biological tissue includes generating treatment radiation having a predetermined wavelength and average power. The treatment radiation is applied to biological tissue, such as retinal tissue, such that at least one treatment spot is formed on the biological tissue and the biological tissue is heat stimulated sufficiently to create a therapeutic effect without destroying the tissue.

Claim (Index 12):
A process for heat treating biological tissue, comprising the steps of:\n generating a pulsed treatment radiation having a wavelength between 570 nm and 1300 nm and an average power of between 0.0000069 to 37.5 watts; and applying the treatment radiation to retinal tissue such that at least one treatment spot having a diameter between 10-700 microns is formed on the retinal tissue and for a duration of between 30-800 milliseconds such that the retinal tissue is heated to between six and eleven degrees Celsius during the application of the treatment radiation to the retinal tissue while providing thermal relaxation periods between pulses such that the average temperature rise of the tissue over several minutes is maintained at approximately one degree Celsius or less, whereby a therapeutic effect is created without destroying the tissue.
