TreatmentsPhotodynamic Therapy (PDT)
PDT is a painless procedure that combines drug and laser treatment to control abnormal blood vessels in ‘wet’ macular degeneration and certain cases of central serous retinopathy (CSR). During treatment, the doctor will inject a drug called Visudyne into a vein in your arm. After a short time, normal blood flow takes it into the affected vessels in the eye. When the doctor aims the non-thermal laser, or “cold” laser, into the eye, the light activates the drug to shrink the abnormal vessels, decreasing the risk of leaking or bleeding that can damage vision. |
