Human eye’s perception of near-infrared (NIR) light results from the two-photon absorption by retinal photoreceptor.;, In such a setting, a pulsed NIR laser produces color sensation that corresponds (closely but not precisely) to the so-called visible spectrum with half of the wavelength used. The mechanism of two-photon-mediate vision has recently been elucidated. A series of studies have been performed al Heidelberg University Hospital to test the feasibility of the application of NIR-lighl sensitivity in a clinical setting. Measurements were performed 1n normal and eye-pathology subjects to identify potential advantages of this emerging technology
