Laser Trabeculoplasty and Laser Peripheral Iridotomy

Anterior Segment Mode

The intuitive anterior segment mode for Navilas® 577s supports the therapy of laser trabeculoplasty for primary open angle glaucoma, as well as iridotomy and iridoplasty for closed angle glaucoma.

Microsecond Pulsing Laser Trabeculoplasty (MLT)

The Navilas® 577s software enables the user to intuitively switch from retina mode to anterior segment mode which also supports laser trabeculoplasty treatments, e.g. with a standard Gonio lens.

Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI)

The Navilas® 577s anterior segment mode also supports Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) combination therapy with a standard iridotomy ("Abraham") lens with 0.63x laser spot magnification.

LPI combination therapy allows the physician to prepare the iris with the Navilas® 577 nm yellow laser. After the initial treatment with Navilas®, the physician can complete the iridotomy treatment with less complication (bleeding) using a separate YAG laser. This combination therapy is a common procedure.

Clinical Case Iridotomy


Baseline

Female middle-aged patient presented with narrow angle glaucoma.

Treatment with Navilas® in two stages

  • First stage: Stretch the iris with 4 single spots using 200mW, 200ms and 200µm
  • Second stage: Remove iris stroma using 1000mW, 20ms and 50µm 

Outcome

The YAG laser was used to complete the treatment. Due to combination therapy, hemorrhages could be prevented.
