Verteporfin accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels and, when stimulated by nonthermal red light with a wavelength of 693 nm in the presence ofoxygen, produces highly reactive short-lived singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen radicals, resulting in local damage to theendothelium and blockage of the vessels.
