Argon Laser Photocoagulation

The clinic is equipped with a modern Lumenis Argon Laser. This is the Lumenis Novus Spectra 532 Green, which is connected to the slit lamp and to an indirect ophthalmoscope. The laser enables the surgeon to perform focal laser in cases such as retinal tear, diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. Also, the laser treatment is necessary in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy to stabilize the disease and avoid vision loss. The laser is performed in the doctor’s office using local anesthesia with eyedrops. Special 20D magnifying lenses are used to examine the retina and through them the laser is focused on the retina. During the laser treatment the patient perceives bright light and colors, without significant pain. More than one session may be needed to treat diabetic retinopathy.
