A new method of treating glaucoma
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The causes of its occurrence are not fully understood.
Even with the correct selection of drugs for glaucoma, there is no guarantee that the patient's vision will remain.
Fortunately, new treatments for this disease are now emerging.
Glaucoma is a gradual atrophy of the optic nerve due to increased intraocular pressure. Therefore, the main treatment is aimed at reducing pressure and inhibiting the development of atrophy as much as possible.
An innovative laser system IRIDEX CYCLO G6 with a micro-pulse mode appeared in the K+31 Eye Microsurgery Clinic.
When performing an intervention on this device, it is possible to predictably reduce the intraocular pressure by 30-40%!
This technique can be used for all types of glaucoma. Its effectiveness is confirmed by clinical trials.
