Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that may get worse over time. It’s the leading cause of severe, permanent vision loss in people over age 60.
It happens when the small central portion of your retina, called the macula, wears down. The retina is the light-sensing nerve tissue at the back of your eye.
The deep causes of this issue may be related to your genes. If someone in your family has it, your risk might be higher.
Smoking, having high blood pressure or high cholesterol, obesity, eating lots of saturated fat, being light-skinned, being female, and having a light eye color are also risk factors.
One of the most common early signs is drusen are often : tiny yellow spots under your retina or pigment clumping.
During the diagnosis session, a routine eye exam can spot age-related macular degeneration. What comes next is choosing the appropriate kind of treatment that might mesh with such an issue. Lately, most doctors are heading to laser therapy since High-energy laser light proved able to destroy abnormal blood vessels growing in the eye.
To be more specific, Laser photocoagulation is the exact type of laser surgery for the eyes. It is specifically done to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). To successfully perform such types of operations, a highly professional laser machine is needed. In this regard, SIFSOF’s medical technical team advances the Smart Medical 26.2Watt Diode Laser SIFLASER-3.2 as a top recommendation.
As a starter, it is of importance to note that unlike many pharmacological treatments that mask pain or only address the symptoms of disease, Laser Therapy treats the underlying condition or pathology of AMD first to promote an adequate healing scheme. This means that the treatments are effective and the benefits of Laser Therapy are long lasting.
Delving more within the criteria of the device at hand, This laser machine : SIFLASER-3.2 combines all the advantages functions through four wavelengths 635nm, 810nm, 980nm and 1064nm in one laser with Maximum power of up to 26.2Watt. These high frequencies are the exact needed during AMD laser surgeries.
To explain more what exactly happens during the surgery ; Photons of light from this laser penetrate deeply into the damaged eye tissue ( in this case the macula) and accelerate cellular reproduction and growth. That is, laser light increases the energy available to the cell so that the cell can regain its normal position, morphology and function .
Furthermore, This device is equipped with the unique Android OS. This means that SIFLASER-3.2 is meant to offer AMD patients an extremely easy and friendly operation since they can track treatment times, save protocols and view their profiles in the laser, and even their doctors can update laser software through the internet.
Age-related macular degeneration can result in severe loss of central vision but rarely causes blindness. It can, however, make it difficult to read, drive or perform other daily activities that require fine central vision. To restore these important daily life activities, undergoing a laser surgery might be a good alternative. One, however, should be careful about what exact laser machine to use in order to guarantee successful final results. Based on all the advanced criteria presented so far in this article, the Smart Medical 26.2Watt Diode Laser SIFLASER-3.2 seems to be an ideal choice.
