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 15):
A system for providing neuroprotective treatment, comprising:\n a laser console producing a plurality of spaced apart micropulsed laser light beams having characteristics of providing a therapeutic effect to retinal tissue without permanently damaging the retinal tissue, the micropulsed laser light beam characteristics including a wavelength of 532 nm or greater and a duty cycle of less than 10%; an optical lens or mask that the laser light beams pass through to optically shape the laser light beams, wherein the optical lens or mask generates a plurality of laser light spots; a coaxial wide-field non-contact digital optical viewing camera projecting the laser light beams to the retinal tissue; and an optical scanning mechanism for controllably directing the light beams onto the retinal tissue to simultaneously apply the plurality of laser light beams to a first treatment area of the retinal tissue, then simultaneously reapply the plurality of laser light beams to the first treatment area after an interval of time less than one second during a single treatment session, and then simultaneously apply the plurality of laser light beams to a second treatment area of the retinal tissue spaced apart from the first treatment area during the interval of time.
