Laser Treatment for Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment describes an emergency situation in which a thin layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from its normal position.

There are many causes of retinal detachment, but the most common causes are aging or an eye injury. There are 3 types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative. Each type happens because of a different problem that causes your retina to move away from the back of your eye.

Retinal detachment itself is painless. But warning signs almost always appear before it occurs or has advanced, such as:

·         The sudden appearance of many floaters — tiny specks that seem to drift through your field of vision

·         Flashes of light in one or both eyes (photopsia)

·         Blurred vision

·         Gradually reduced side (peripheral) vision

·         A curtain-like shadow over your visual field

To treat this issue, doctors often recur to laser therapy as it proved to have guaranteed results. The surgeon usually directs a laser beam into the eye through the pupil. The laser burns around the retinal tear, creating scarring that usually “welds” the retina to underlying tissue.

To do such a delicate operation in a careful and accurate manner, a professional laser device that functions following a high-level wavelength is of course needed.

Accordingly, our technical medical team highly recommends its Smart Medical 26.2Watt Diode Laser SIFLASER-3.2 as it has been recurrently used and appreciated by Ophthalmologists mostly for its ability to match the disease’s exact medical requirements.

This SIFLASER-3.2 functions with 4 wavelengths: 635nm, 810nm, 980nm and 1064nm with Maximum power up to 26.2Watt. With such quality, it will offer extremely adjustable, easy and friendly aesthetic eye operation that smoothly adapts to the gravity of this issue’s different cases.

To explain in more detail, this Laser’s light will be placed against the damaged retina tissue. Followingly, the photons penetrate several centimetres and get absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy-producing part of a cell. This energy fuels many positive physiological responses resulting in the restoration of normal tissue morphology and function.

In simpler terms, the SIFLASER-3.2 will significantly speed up the healing process and consequently reduce this disease’s affected tissue surfaces and regenerate a new and undamaged retina tissue. Accordingly, it will ultimately relieve patients from any possible pain they might feel during or after the surgery.

The machine has another unique advantage. Doctors, actually, could easily track treatment times, save protocols and view patient profiles in the laser, and even update laser software through the internet.

Retinal detachment separates the retinal cells from the layer of blood vessels that provides oxygen and nourishment. The longer retinal detachment goes untreated, the greater your risk of permanent vision loss in the affected eye. This makes early treatment a must.

By applying laser therapy, for instance, retinal detachment patients can control the symptoms of the condition, heal their damaged retina and eventually be able to carry out everyday activities without feeling the discomfort associated with this life-crippling problem.

However, to reach that end, a highly professional laser machine is needed to guarantee the best result possible.  Based on all the above-mentioned characteristics, the diode Laser system SIFLASER-3.2 seems to be the most suitable device for diagnosing and treating retinal detachment disease.
