How Transpupillary Thermotherapy (TTT) is performed
TTT usually involves low-level thermotherapy irradiation of the lesion with an infrared diode laser through the pupil under mydriasis and microscopic guidance. The doctor will set the power, spot size, and irradiation duration according to the size and location of the lesion, in order to gently heat abnormal blood vessels and surrounding tissues. Postoperative monitoring includes vision, inflammatory response, and OCT changes, with phased repetition assessed as necessary. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
