Laser treatment of eye diseases

Indicated for:
  • Peripheral retinal degeneration and tears
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Post-embolic retinopathy
  • Secondary filmy cataracts
  • Glaucoma in the early stages in the absence of compensation of eye pressure on the drop regimen
Methods of treatment:
  • Retinal laser coagulation
  • Laser discision
  • Laser trabeculoplasty and goniopuncture
  • Laser iridectomy

Safe and effective

Due to the transparent optical medium of the eye, many tissues are accessible for inspection and laser exposure. The laser radiation is absorbed only at the target point, without harming other eye structures.The ability to clearly visualise pathological changes allows the doctor to perform the procedure with extreme precision.

Painlessly

Eye structures such as the retina, choroid, and lens capsule do not have pain receptors. The laser only blinds (the sensation of flashes of light). And with an infrared YAG laser, there are no sensations at all. The treatment procedure requires pupil dilation.

Risk groups

Changes occurring in the eye may be invisible to a person in the early stages. And the effectiveness of laser treatment during this period is the highest. That is why it is necessary to have your eyes checked for preventive purposes. The high-risk group includes people with high myopia, diabetes mellitus for more than five years, hypertensive patients, and the elderly.

Laser retinal coagulation

‘Micro-welding’ of the retina with light in areas of loss of strength and areas with reduced blood flow helps to preserve central vision and quality of life. After strengthening the retina, you need to limit physical activity for several days. You can return to visual work on the same day.

Laser discision

Modern sutureless cataract surgery makes this operation quick and safe. However, in 10-15% of patients, the capsule that remains of the lens can become denser over time. This leads to the appearance of fog and reduced visual acuity. It takes several minutes to dissect the cloudy capsule with a laser. There is no need to take any tests. The result is felt immediately.

Laser treatment of glaucoma

Glaucoma is a chronic disease. The main way to treat it is to prescribe drops that reduce eye pressure. In some cases, when drops do not have a sufficient effect and surgical treatment can still be postponed, laser treatment of glaucoma can significantly reduce intraocular pressure. After the treatment, it is still necessary to diligently drip the prescribed drops and regularly check the eye pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Primarily, these technologies are used to treat conditions such as peripheral degenerations and retinal tears, which can occur at any age. Without timely treatment, these issues may lead to complications and reduced visual acuity. The advantage of laser technologies lies in their ability to deliver precise results with minimal health risks.
For the procedure, drops are used to dilate the pupil, and local anesthesia is applied. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. A laser is used in conjunction with a special lens, allowing for full visualization of the damaged areas of the retina. The laser strengthens weakened retinal tissue and prevents the condition from worsening. Modern technology ensures that the operation takes only a few minutes, after which the patient can return home and resume daily activities.
Retinal procedures performed using laser technologies are entirely safe. The operation is conducted by experienced professionals using high-precision modern equipment, ensuring reliable results and quick recovery without health risks.
Recovery after retinal laser coagulation takes just a few hours while the pupil contracts. After this, the patient can return to their normal lifestyle. To maintain the results, heavy physical exertion should be avoided initially, and the prescribed eye drops should be used. The recovery time depends on the complexity, scope of the procedure, and the patient’s overall health. If needed, the specialist will schedule a follow-up visit.
