In vitro studies of the efficiency of two-photon activation of photodynamic therapy agents
- Abstract:
-
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of severe vision loss in the older population, due to ingrowth of new leaky blood vessels (neovasculature) from the choriocapillaris, which results in destruction of photoreceptors in the fovea and loss of central vision. "Standard" one-photon (1-γ) photodynamic therapy (PDT) using Visudyne® is an approved method of AMD treatment but has the potential to damage healthy tissues lying above and below the neovasculature due to photosensitiz...
