1. A system for treating inflammatory eye disease inside an eye of a patient, comprising:

  • an ophthalmic imaging device; and

    an ophthalmic phototherapy device that includes;

    a first light-emitting mechanism comprising an LED or a low-power laser source, that in operation emits a first light of at least a first wavelength in a near infra-red light wavelength range, a yellow light wavelength range, or a red light wavelength range;

    a second light-emitting mechanism comprising an LED or a low-power laser source, that in operation emits a second light of at least a second wavelength different from the first wavelength; and

    a controller comprising processing circuitry that in operation controls the first and second light-emitting mechanism so as to selectively direct the first and the second light from the ophthalmic phototherapy device into the eye of the patient being treated by the ophthalmic phototherapy device for first and second preselected periods of time, respectively.
