Successfully treating animal eye disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal diseases. With exclusive MicroPulse® technology and continuous wave, the Cyclo G6® Glaucoma Laser allows non-incisional, non-destructive, and repeatable treatment for a wide range of glaucoma cases. The DioVet™ System, with a 810nm wavelength, is ideal for penetrating nonpigmented ocular tissues including sclera, cornea, and aqueous/vitreous, used in combination with a line of delivery devices. It enables transscleral glaucoma and retinal procedures with greater accuracy and less postoperative pain than cryotherapy.
"At Veterinary Vision we frequently use the diode laser from IRIDEX for treating a variety of conditions including uveal, limbal and eyelid melanomas, and iris cysts. There are many delivery systems available, including the operating microscope adapter (OMA), retinopexy, EndoProbe and transscleral probes, allowing the laser to be delivered in both contact and non contact modes. Diode laser treatment for glaucoma includes transscleral and endo cyclophotocoagulation techniques offering some of the best options available for treating this challenging condition."
"Recent availability of the Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser System offers another modality for reducing aqueous production as a treatment for glaucoma. MicroPulse technology has the potential to achieve optimal cyclodestructive effects with much less inflammation and potential for damaging postoperative intraocular pressure spikes. We are fortunate to be among the veterinary centers beginning to accumulate data using this novel technology."
