We combine the real-time structural imaging capability of OCT with laser microirradiation for causing layer-specific dystrophies to mimic Retinitis Pigmentosa and dry-AMD model. In addition, we integrated an ERG-module for functional characterization after laser-injury to monitor the disease progression as well as to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Here, we show creation of local atrophies with our combined OCT-Laser-ERG system in animal models and measurement of different cone and rod responses to focal stimulation light of different wavelengths. By varying the different mode of laser microirradiation and focal adjustment to the targeted depth, we demonstrate layer specific primary RPE injury.
