NIR Laser Treatment 25 Miiliwatts (mW)/cm2 Dose
The Ellex Integre NIR (near Infrared Light) Laser dose of 25 milliwats(mW)/cm2 for 90 seconds for 12 treatments at 2 to 3 day intervals over 5 weeks. Ellex Integre NIR laser: Each NIR light treatment will consist of a 90 second exposure of the macula of the study eye to the Ellex Integre NIR laser with the patient fixating on the central aiming beam. The laser light beam is 4.5mm in diameter with a central masked area of 1.0 mm diameter containing the central fixation target. In this way the central macula will be spared in the event of an adverse effect of the laser, which we do not anticipate. The patient will be seated at the slit lamp laser delivery system and after the eye has been dilated and anesthetised with topical eye drops a standard fundus contact lens will be placed on the eye through which the post area pole will be visualised while the treatment is delivered. There will be 12 treatments administered over a 5 week period.
NIR Laser Treatment 100mW/cm2 Dose
The Ellex Integre NIR Laser dose of 100 mW/cm2 for 90 seconds for 12 treatments at 2 to 3 day intervals over 5 weeks. Ellex Integre NIR laser: Each NIR light treatment will consist of a 90 second exposure of the macula of the study eye to the Ellex Integre NIR laser with the patient fixating on the central aiming beam.

The patient will be seated at the slit lamp laser delivery system and after the eye has been dilated and anesthetised with topical eye drops a standard fundus contact lens will be placed on the eye through which the post area pole will be visualised while the treatment is delivered. There will be 12 treatments administered over a 5 week period.
NIR Laser Treatment 200mW/cm2 Dose
n=7 participants at risk
The Ellex Integre NIR (near Infrared Light) Laser dose of 200 mW/cm2 for 90 seconds for 12 treatments at 2 to 3 day intervals over 5 weeks. Ellex Integre NIR laser: Each NIR light treatment will consist of a 90 second exposure of the macula of the study eye to the Ellex Integre NIR laser with the patient fixating on the central aiming beam. The laser light beam is 4.5mm in diameter with a central masked area of 1.0 mm diameter containing the central fixation target. In this way the central macula will be spared in the event of an adverse effect of the laser, which we do not anticipate. The patient will be seated at the slit lamp laser delivery system and after the eye has been dilated and anesthetised with topical eye drops a standard fundus contact lens will be placed on the eye through which the post area pole will be visualised while the treatment is delivered. There will be 12 treatments administered over a 5 week period.
