Abstract

A treatment apparatus has a probe needle at a distal end of the apparatus and a laser fiber. A plurality of illumination fibers are provided. The laser fiber and the plurality of illumination fibers are shaped at a distal end of the probe needle. The illumination from the probe needle is configured to be distanced 2 to 4 mm from a retina and has an illumination spot area of about 14 to 140 mm2.
