ABSTRACT
Selective retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) photodisruption requires reliable real-time feedback dosimetry (RFD) to prevent unwanted overexposure. In this study, optical coherence tomography (OCT) based RFD was investigated in ex vivo porcine eyes exposed to laser pulses of 8 µs duration (wavelength 532 nm, exposure area 90 × 90 µm2, radiant exposure 247 to 1975 mJ/µm2). For RFD, fringe washouts in time-resolved OCT M-scans (central wavelength 870 nm, scan rate 85 kHz) were compared to an RPE cell viability assay. Statistical analysis revealed a moderate correlation between RPE lesion size and applied treatment energy, suggesting RFD adaptation to inter- and intraindividual RPE pigmentation and ocular transmission.
