Lasers in glaucoma : Indian Journal of Ophthalmology - LWW- diode laser in ophthalmology research journal ,The ECP laser unit is a standalone unit which has four different components, the 810-nm diode laser, a 175-W xenon light source, a He-Ne laser aiming beam, and video monitor and recorder. The endoscopy probe contains all three fiber groupings and is available in 19, 20, or 23 gauge sizes with a field of view ranging from 70° to 140° and depth of focus spanning 1–30 mm. COMBINATION THERAPY OF INTRAVITREAL RANIBIZUMAB AND ...Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second most common cause of retinal vascular abnormality after diabetic retinopathy and a frequent cause of visual loss. 1 Branch retinal vein occlusion presents as venous dilatation or tortuosity, intraretinal hemorrhage, cystoid macular edema (CME), capillary nonperfusion, and serous retinal detachment (SRD), 2,3 and the most common vision ...
Compact laser emitting diodes of gallium-aluminium-arsenide are now available for incorporation into clinical lasers in ophthalmology. These lasers are cheap and have low running costs. They are portable and their wavelength of emission (810 nm) may be advantageous in certain clinical situations. Clinical trials in retinal vascular disease, trabeculoplasty, and cyclophotocoagulation, have been ...

As it is shown in Table 1, among the commonly used lasers are the erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser, 3 the diode laser, the argon laser, the neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) solid state laser, 4 and the CO2-gas laser. 5 These lasers penetrate only at short distances in the tissue and result in fine and precise ...
It is also very possible to lose further vision over time, with repeated diode lasers, therefore this laser is usually only used in cases where pain control is the main concern. In situations where the treatment is being given to lower eye pressure to preserve vision, it is used sparingly and only when other procedures, like surgery, are even a ...
Median follow-up was 39.5 months (range, 15 to 70 months). Median number of green diode laser photocoagulation treatments was 2 (range, 1 to 5). After laser photocoagulation, 13 (93%) of 14 eyes had no active exudation. Functionally, 4 (29%) of 14 eyes had 20/50 or better visual acuity, 3 (21%) of 14 eyes had 20/60 to 20/200 visual acuity, 5 ...
Current ophthalmic lasers. Ophthalmic lasers currently commercially available include the CO2, excimer, argon, tunable dye, Nd:YAG, and diode. Their characteristics and veterinary ophthalmic use are summarized in Table 2.1. Of these instruments, the diode laser is the laser most frequently used by the veterinary ophthalmologist; its tissue ...
A laser is as safe or as hazardous as the user–and that user' knowledge and skill, defines how well laser safety is managed. Of all hazards, complacency is the most dangerous, and it is imperative to develop a risk management perspective on laser safety. Proper safety management requires a fourfold approach including: knowledge of standards ...
<i>Purpose</i>. The study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of a subthreshold micropulse treatment laser (SMTL) versus half-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT) for treatment of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC) with parafoveal or subfoveal leakage to persistent subretinal fluid. <i>Methods</i>. One hundred and forty-eight patients (148 eyes) with persistent cCSC were ...

In addition, an intense diode laser may cause photovaporization, and the exploding effect may lead to ICL displacement. Thus, the range and diode power of the laser should be considered preoperatively when performing TSCP in patients with both an IOL and ICL. Furthermore, it would seem necessary to avoid the direction of pupil displacement.
The Diode Laser in Glaucoma Therapy Diode lasers can be used for a variety of glaucoma procedures, including iridotomy, laser trabeculoplasty, and CPC ( Table 5 ). Diode iridotomy is performed using a drumhead-style technique where energy is initially applied in a small area with low energy, followed by greater energy delivery centrally to achieve iris penetration; 100 to 150 burns may be required.
Veterinary Ophthalmology, 4, 209–215 intravitreal gentamicin, intraocular cidofovir, and cyclopho-tocoagulation have been used to destroy part of the ciliary body in an attempt to control canine glaucoma. 8–14 Neo-dymium:YAG lasers and diode lasers have been described as methods of cyclophotocoagulation. 15–19 Recently, Bentley et al
