The coagulation (clotting) of tissue by controlled use of a laser in order to seal off bleeding blood vessels.<\/p>\n

\n

The process in which tissue coagulates from the heat caused by light, used to treat a detached retina.<\/p>\n

\n

Destruction of tissue by an intense beam of light, used to destroy diseased retinal tissue or to create scar tissue to bind the retina in cases of detached retina.<\/p>\n

\n

A surgical technique that uses a laser to condense protein in the eye. Photocoagulation is used to reattach a detached retina (the thin layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye), seal or destroy abnormal blood vessels in the retina, or destroy eye tumors.<\/p>\n

\n

The destruction of tissue by heat released from the absorption of light shone on it. In eye disorders the technique is used to destroy diseased retinal tissue, occurring, for example, as a complication of diabetes; and to produce scarring between the retina and choroid, thus binding them together, in cases of detached retina. Several instruments are available for producing the intense light needed; the principle is similar when lasers are used.<\/p>\n

\n

The use of intense light or laser to bum or destroy tissue under direct observation; used for treatment of diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

A cancer treatment method wherein a concentrated beam of laser light is employed to eliminate the tumor.<\/p>\n
