Glaucoma Laser Treatments:
SELECTIVE LASER TRABECULOPLASTY (SLT)
The latest technology in the treatment of open angle glaucoma lowers eye pressure by activating the normal drainage channels in the eye. This may allow patients to avoid glaucoma drops or invasive surgery. ENDOSCOPIC CYCLO PHOTOGOAGULATION (ECP)
This laser is used in the operating room setting to treat glaucoma. This works in a unique way to lower the production of fluid in the eye to lower eye pressure. |
LASER PERIPHERAL IRIDOTOMY (PI)
This quick and effective laser treats specific types of glaucoma, including angle closure glaucoma. This laser can prevent potentially painful and blinding glaucoma conditions. |
Retina Laser Treatments:
PAN RETINAL PHOTOCOAGULATION (PRP)
This laser is proven effective in treating retinal bleeding associated with diabetes. FOCAL ARGON LASER
An effective way to treat swelling in the central part of the retina (the macula). This can occur in diabetes or other retinal vascular disease. |
PERIPHERAL RETINAL LASER
This treatment utilizes argon laser technology as a potential vision saving treatment for retinal tears and several other retinal disorders. |
Other Laser Treatments:
LASER YAG CAPSULOTOMY
In the months or years after cataract surgery, an opacity can form on the capsule behind the lens implant. This painless laser procedure removes the cloudiness. |
LASER EPILATION
This laser can prevent serious problems that can occur from inverted eyelashes that rub against the eye. The follicle is treated to prevent recurrence of abnormal lashes. |
