Abstract:
A method and system directs therapeutic light of a first wavelength to a patient's eye to excite a photosensitizing agent for PDT during a series of discrete periods of time that are separated by non-therapeutic intervals. Diagnostic light of a second wavelength can be directed to the eye during at least a portion of one or more of the non-therapeutic intervals to allow a physician to see the affect of the therapy.
