Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and systems for ophthalmic therapy. Electrical therapy delivery characteristics are determined using a testing or calibration phase and a patient's known disease state. Expected values for phosphene thresholds in the patient's eye are used along with measurements characterizing a relationship between therapy output from electrodes near the eye to the energy that is actually received at the eye, such as by corneal measurements. The result may include a determination of therapy delivery targets and/or an estimate of the patient's disease state.
