Argon, krypton, dye and diode lasers have been used with varying levels of energy to try to prevent age-related macular degeneration by eliminating drusen. A Cochrane review published in 2015 found that while laser treatment reduces drusen, there is no difference from placebo at 2 years with respect to preventing vision loss. [5]
Trabeculoplasty is a laser treatment for glaucoma. It is done on an argon laser equipped slit lamp, using a Goldmann gonioscope lens mirror. Specifically, an argon laser is used to improve drainage through the eye's trabecular meshwork, from which the aqueous humour drains. This helps reduce intraocular pressure caused by open-angle glaucoma. [1]
Laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) is the application of a laser beam to burn areas of the trabecular meshwork, located near the base of the iris, to increase fluid outflow. LTP is used in the treatment of various open-angle glaucomas. [1] The two types of laser trabeculoplasty are argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT
National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital (Bengali: জাতীয় চক্ষু বিজ্ঞান ইন্সটিটিউট ও হাসপাতাল), also known as the National Eye Hospital, is a government eye hospital in Bangladesh that provides all types of eye care.
The argon-ion laser was invented in 1964 by William Bridges at the Hughes Aircraft Company [2] and it is one of the family of ion lasers that use a noble gas as the active medium. Argon-ion lasers are used for retinal phototherapy (for the treatment of diabetes), lithography, and the pumping of other lasers.
The argon fluoride laser (ArF laser) is a particular type of excimer laser, [1] which is sometimes (more correctly) called an exciplex laser. With its 193-nanometer wavelength, it is a deep ultraviolet laser, which is commonly used in the production of semiconductor integrated circuits , eye surgery, micromachining, and scientific research.
Laser surgery is a type of surgery that cuts tissue using a laser in contrast to using a scalpel. [ 1 ] Soft-tissue laser surgery is used in a variety of applications in humans ( general surgery , neurosurgery , ENT , dentistry , orthodontics , [ 2 ] and oral and maxillofacial surgery ) as well as veterinary [ 3 ] surgical fields.
The Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital is an ophthalmological hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The hospital was founded by Bangladeshi philanthropist Mirza Ahmad Ispahani in 1960. In addition to tertiary care and rehabilitation for an average of 700 patients per day, the hospital offers education programs for medical staff and the wider ...
