Navilas Laser System

Advantages of the Navilas® have been clinically proven

Through the precise positioning of the laser, damaged vessels are efficiently sealed.
This results in a faster and greater effect than with traditional lasers.

High level of precision
and safety

Through transparent pre-planning, precise laser positioning and protective zones for sensitive areas.

More
comfortable

By using glare-free light treatment option without treatment contact lenses and use of short pulses.

Shorter
treatment time

Through pre-planning and the use of patterns.

Fewer subsequent treatment sessions and better vision

As a consequence of precision and better planning transparency.

Phases of navigated laser treatment

Preparation phase

In the preparation phase, an image is made of your retina, which can be compiled with earlier diagnostic images. A treatment contact lens is only used in some cases (like with conventional lasers).

Planning phase

Your doctor can now precisely plan your laser therapy directly on your diagnostic images and localize the damaged vessels and areas exactly. Protection zones, which can be positioned on sensitive areas, enable a high level of safety during the treatment. The finished plan is then transferred to your retina.

Treatment phase

Now modern eye-tracking technology is used to position the laser beam precisely where it was previously planned even when there are eye movements. Your doctor can trigger the laser more precisely, but nevertheless faster. Glare-free light and, where applicable, a non-contact application make the treatment more comfortable. This very precise and safe therapy can reduce the number of subsequent treatment sessions or potentially necessary injections to the eye.

Reporting

The digital pre-planning of the Navilas® laser system makes extensive reporting possible. A digital, printable report can be created with relative ease. This report may contain both the diagnosis images included as well as planned and applied laser points. Please talk to your doctor about whether you could receive the report for your own use.
