Methods and systems for controlling selective targeting of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells within a treatment region of the RPE. The methods include (a) depositing a selected amount of energy on a test region of the RPE; (b) determining an extent to which microcavitation has occurred in the test region; and (c) on the basis of the determination, either depositing the selected amount of energy on the treatment region, or depositing an increased amount of energy on the test region, and repeating steps (b) and (c).

1. An automated method for determining a treatment for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells within a treatment region of the RPE, the method comprising: (i) exposing each one of a plurality of test spots on the RPE to a first quantity of treatment radiation from a radiation source;(ii) for each one of the test spots in the plurality of test spots, automatically determining whether microcavitation occurred in response to the treatment radiation by: (a) measuring a signal corresponding to treatment radiation scattered from the test spot in a direction opposite to a direction along which the treatment radiation is delivered to the test spot;(b) determining a rate of change of an amplitude of the measured signal; and(c) determining whether microcavitation occurred at the test spot by comparing the rate of change of the amplitude of the measured signal to a first threshold value for the rate of change of the measured signal that corresponds to microcavitation;(iii) determining a fraction of the plurality of test spots at which microcavitation occurred in response to the treatment radiation; and(iv) comparing the fraction to a second threshold value for the fraction to determine whether the first quantity of treatment radiation is suitable for treating the RPE cells. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising exposing the RPE cells within the treatment region to a quantity of treatment radiation that corresponds to the first quantity of the treatment radiation if the fraction exceeds the second threshold value. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if the fraction is less than the second threshold value: exposing each of the plurality of test spots on the RPE to a second quantity of treatment radiation larger than the first quantity; andrepeating steps (ii)-(iv) to determine whether the second quantity of treatment radiation is suitable for treating the RPE cells. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the second quantity of treatment radiation by adjusting at least one of an average output power of the radiation source, and a pulse duration of the radiation source. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first threshold value corresponds to the occurrence of intracellular microcavitation in RPE cells. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the treatment radiation using a pulsed laser. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising, for each one of the test spots, delivering the treatment radiation in multiple radiation pulses to the test spot. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the treatment radiation using a continuous wave (CW) laser. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein at least some of the plurality of test spots are within the treatment region. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein each one of the plurality of test spots is outside the treatment region. 11. An automated system for determining a treatment for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells within a treatment region of the RPE, the system comprising: a radiation source configured to expose regions of the RPE to treatment radiation;a detector configured to measure a signal corresponding to treatment radiation scattered from the RPE in a direction opposite to a direction along which the treatment radiation is delivered to the RPE; andan electronic processor configured to: (i) direct the radiation source to expose each one of a plurality of test spots on the RPE to a first quantity of treatment radiation;(ii) for each one of the test spots in the plurality of test spots, automatically determine whether microcavitation occurred in response to the treatment radiation by: (a) receiving a signal measured by the detector corresponding to scattered treatment radiation;(b) determining a rate of change of an amplitude of the received signal; and(c) comparing the rate of change of the amplitude of the received signal to a first threshold value for the rate of change of the measured signal that corresponds to microcavitation to determine whether microcavitation occurred at the test spot;(iii) determine a fraction of the plurality of test spots at which microcavitation occurred in response to the treatment radiation; and(iv) compare the fraction to a second threshold value for the fraction to determine whether the first quantity of treatment radiation is suitable for treating the RPE cells. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the electronic processor is configured to direct the radiation source to expose the RPE cells within the treatment region to a quantity of treatment radiation that corresponds to the first quantity of the treatment radiation if the fraction exceeds the second threshold value. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein the electronic processor is configured so that if the fraction is less than the second threshold value, the electronic processor: directs the radiation source to expose each of the plurality of test spots on the RPE to a second quantity of treatment radiation larger than the first quantity; andrepeats steps (ii)-(iv) to determine whether the second quantity of treatment radiation is suitable for treating the RPE cells. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein the first threshold value corresponds to the occurrence of intracellular microcavitation in RPE cells. 15. The system of claim 11, wherein the radiation source comprises a pulsed laser. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the radiation source is configured to deliver the treatment radiation in multiple radiation pulses. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein the radiation source comprises a continuous wave (CW) laser. 18. The system of claim 11, wherein the electronic processor is configured to adjust at least one of an average output power and a pulse duration of the radiation source to direct the radiation source to expose a plurality of test spots on the RPE to a second quantity of treatment radiation.
