dc.description.abstract	The design and development of novel squaraine dyes as sensitisers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications has grown tremendously in the last decade from the time when a squaraine dye was proposed to be a potential candidate, to-date when the use of such dyes have been demonstrated in animal models for skin cancer. This perspective article highlights the basic design, tuning of absorption,triplet excited state and two-photon absorption properties and recent developments of the squaraines as PDT sensitisers	en_US
