Abstract
Due to the ophthalmologic invisibility of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell damage, the use of an optoacoustic (OA) control system to monitor the RPE cell damage was investigated. Both in vitro and in vivo observations were made. The data suggest that the OA method can be used to detect RPE barrier defects during μs-laser irradiation.
