photocoagulation threshold

Photocoagulation threshold refers to the minimum energy level of laser used in treatments like eye therapy that is necessary to produce a controlled, precise injury to targeted tissue without causing excessive damage. In medical procedures, such as treating retinal conditions, choosing the correct threshold ensures enough tissue change to achieve the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing unnecessary harm. It’s determined through careful calibration and testing, balancing effectiveness with safety. Essentially, it’s the point at which the laser energy begins to produce a beneficial, controlled response, guiding clinicians to apply optimal treatment doses.
