Argon Laser
The Argon laser is a type of non-surgical intervention that uses light energy to treat various conditions in the back of the eye, specifically in the retina. Argon laser is considered one of the best types of thermal lasers that work through photocoagulation by focusing a beam of light on the affected retina tissues.
At Eye See Center, we have the latest Argon laser device from the German company ZEISS VISULAS green, which offers the highest safety and effective treatment with minimal patient stress.
Some of the conditions that can be treated with the Argon laser:
- Sealing leaking blood vessels and preventing retinal hemorrhages.
- Diabetic retinopathy: The laser is used to treat vascular damage caused by diabetes.
- Retinal vessel occlusion: The laser is used to reopen blocked blood vessels.
- Retinal holes and tears: The laser is used to close holes and prevent retinal detachment.
- Benign retinal tumors: The laser is used to destroy tumors.
- Glaucoma.
Advantages of using the Argon Laser:
- High precision: The laser targets a very small area of the retina, reducing the risk of damaging healthy tissue.
- High effectiveness: The Argon laser is an effective treatment for many retinal diseases.
- Speed: Most Argon laser treatments take just a few minutes.
- Patient comfort: The Argon laser treatment can be performed in the clinic without the need for anesthesia.
