MICROPULSE TLT DURING COVID-19

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, our thoughts go out to those who have been impacted. Our priority at IRIDEX is to support our customers, their patients and our employees. Over the past few months, ophthalmologists from around the world have been exchanging ideas and strategies to adapt to new social distancing guidelines, infection control measures, and treatment options to best manage their patients. During this time of uncertainty, many of our customers have shared with us how MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy (TLT) remains a beneficial therapy for a variety of reasons. MicroPulse TLT:

• is non-incisional, safe, and effective
• can be performed in the office
• takes less than 5 minutes to performed
• entails minimal follow-up
• leaves future treatment options open
• can be applied for a wide range of glaucoma types and severity
• typically allows patients to return to normal activities within 24 hours
• uses the Cyclo-G6 laser console that can be disinfected easily
• uses a sterile, single-use, MicroPulse P3 fiber-optic delivery device

In a webinar titled “How I Am Treating Glaucoma During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” Dr. Jason Bacharach of California discussed how the current COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way clinicians treat and manage glaucoma. “Most patients presenting for urgent care usually require stronger IOP control, so I have turned to MicroPulse TLT to bridge this gap and I treat them in the office. This is a great tool for right now,” he said.

In a different webinar, Dr. Rajen Desai of New Jersey said: “Patients did not feel comfortable having to come back to the office for multiple post-op visits if I proposed incisional glaucoma surgery, so I realized I needed something dependable, predictable, safer, and low risk during this time. MicroPulse is playing a particular stronghold now that patients are averse to getting things done in general. They prioritize safety above all else, and that’s where MicroPulse shines because I tell them there is a very low risk of endophthalmitis.”

In a webinar about the evolution and versatility of MicroPulse TLT, Dr. Marc Toeteberg-Harms of Switzerland said: “My elderly patients were scared to be seen in the hospital. MicroPulse TLT enabled me to be able to treat in the office immediately thus avoiding a second consultation. Plus, post-op complications are low and this minimizes post-op visits. The outside of the laser machine and the footswitch are easy to clean.”

Dr. Branda Alegría of Guadalajara, Mexico contacted us via instagram to share a few photos and she told us the following: “MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy is my best ally during the COVID-19 pandemic when facing challenging glaucoma cases.”

We are here to help you. We are thankful and honored to be supporting hundreds of ophthalmologists and patients during this dificult time. As we go forward together, please know that we value your questions, ideas and feedback. If there is something in particular that you need, please email us at glaucoma@iridex.com or contact your IRIDEX representative. Stay safe and healthy.

“I have performed over a hundred MicroPulse TLTs, and have not experienced a single case of iritis or CME. MicroPulse TLT is safe, effective, and can be done in the office and OR in less than 5 minutes. For surgeons who may not feel comfortable adopting the newest MIGS devices but want something effective and safe to reduce IOP with the simplest learning curve, MicroPulse TLT is an outstanding option.”

Rajan Desai, MD, FACS
East Brunswick, NJ

“Numerous published studies and clinical experience in the US, Europe and Asia over the last several years have demonstrated that it is a safe and effective option to decrease both IOP and the number of topical medications necessary in many glaucoma patients. I regularly treat a wide variety of glaucoma patients with it, and my patients are very happy with the results.”

Ahad Mahootchi, MD
The Eye Clinic of Florida, Zephyrhills, FL USA

“MicroPulse TLT has become an irreplaceable tool in my daily practice. It has allowed me to better individualize the care of my glaucoma patients, minimizing risks and allowing for clinical success even in challenging scenarios where I used to have none or few and risky treatment options. It is an evolving technology, and as we continue to learn more about it, we will unveil its full potential.”

Tomas M. Grippo, MD
Grippo Glaucoma Center, Buenos Aires, Argentina

“Since 2016, I have loved having MicroPulse TLT in my surgical toolbox for many types of glaucoma, including those in late stage and refractory stages.
