Abstract:
Providing neuroprotective therapy for glaucoma includes generating a micropulsed laser light beam having parameters and characteristics, including pulse length, power, and duty cycle, selected to create a therapeutic effect with no visible laser lesions or tissue damage to the retina. The laser light beam is applied to retinal and/or foveal tissue of an eye having glaucoma or a risk of glaucoma to create a therapeutic effect to the retinal and/or foveal tissue exposed to the laser light beam without destroying or permanently damaging the retinal and/or foveal tissue and improve function or condition of an optic nerve and/or retinal ganglion cells of the eye.

Claim (Index 26):
A process for providing therapy for glaucoma, comprising the steps of:\n generating a plurality of spaced apart pulsed laser light treatment beams each having power, wavelength, pulse length, and duty cycle parameters selected to provide therapeutic effect to retinal tissue without permanently damaging the retinal tissue; simultaneously applying the plurality of laser light treatment beams to a first treatment area of retinal tissue of an eye having glaucoma; simultaneously reapplying the plurality of laser light treatment beams to the first treatment area after an interval of time of less than one second during a single treatment session; simultaneously applying the plurality of laser light treatment beams to a second treatment area of the retinal tissue which is spaced apart from the first treatment area during the interval of time; and repeatedly applying the plurality of laser light treatment beams to the first and second treatment areas until a predetermined number of laser light beam applications to each treatment area has been achieved.
