An apparatus for clogging blood vessels of an eye fundus includes an
illuminating optical system (1) for illuminating an eye fundus of a
subject, who has been given an injection of an infrared fluorescent
agent, with infrared rays of light and exciting the infrared fluorescent
agent so as to generate infrared fluorescence, a photographic optical
system (2) for observing and photographing the eye fundus, and a
projecting optical system (21) for projecting a laser beam of light
having a specific wavelength onto the subject who has been also given an
injection of a photosensitive substance which undergoes a photochemical
change by the laser beam. In the apparatus, while a region which emits
infrared fluorescence is being observed, the laser beam is projected onto
the photosensitive substance so as to clog blood vessels of a diseased
part in the depth of the eye fundus.
