High-Resolution In Vivo Imaging of Regimes of Laser Damage to the Primate Retina

Figure 3

Formation of a lesion in the retina of subject S3 immediately after a high energy retinal radiant exposure (870 mJ/cm²). The lesion (white arrows) became more reflective in the minutes following exposure and is likely associated with edema. OCT B-scans of photothermal exposure moments before (a), approximately 10 seconds after (b), and minutes later (c). Scale bar: 100 μm.
