The development of safe and effective technologies for eye treatment with minimal rehabilitation time is a key goal in ophthalmologic surgery. According to specialists, lasers for ophthalmology are a modern and effective tool for vision correction. The equipment has a wide range of applications, from treatment and prevention to surgical interventions. Ophthalmology was one of the first fields of medicine to adopt lasers for correcting myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and retinal detachment.

Types of ophthalmic lasers

Most ophthalmology clinics have several types of laser units in their arsenal, each specializing in specific therapeutic tasks. Ophthalmologists commonly use the following main types of lasers:

Excimer — ultraviolet gas, provide vaporization of superficial tissue areas, are used to treat glaucoma, dystrophic changes in the cornea.
Argon — ionic gas, effective in the treatment of vascular disorders, retinal vein thrombosis, retinopathy.
Krypton — ionic gas, can strengthen the retina, prevent its detachment, the development of dystrophic changes.
Diode — infrared, deeply penetrate the vasculature, fight pathologies of macular areas of the retina.
Neodymium — solid-state on the basis of alumoyttrium garnet, generate rays in the infrared range, perform precise microincisions, cataract excision, effective in microsurgery of macular areas of the retina.
Helium-neon — gas, to improve vision, have powerful biostimulating, anti-inflammatory, regenerating properties.
Carbon dioxide infrared — gas, used for tissue evaporation, removal of overgrowths of conjunctiva, eyelids.

The equipment has a wide structured range of wavelengths, is designed for integration into any system of ophthalmologic institution.

Laser use in ophthalmology

The wide application of lasers in ophthalmology stems from the ability of the device's radiation to reach most of the critical structures of the eye. Due to the laser's monochromaticity and coherence, the beam selectively and locally affects tissues. In surgery, lasers are used for:

vascular coagulation;
safe tissue dissection;
heat treatment;
precise removal.

For diagnostic purposes, laser devices enable tomography for studying the optic nerve and detecting diseases. Ophthalmoscopy allows for the visual assessment of the retina and vessels. Lasers can also record Doppler changes in blood velocity.
