Laser is a highly concentrated beam of purified light that carries a large amount of energy. Yellow-green lasers are used on sick retinal tissue for diabetic retinopathy, or to seal tears in the retina. Very powerful lasers can be used to create a new conduit in the retinal blood vessels to divert the blood flow around an obstruction in patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion. Another laser, called YAG laser, is used to treat conditions such as (PCO) posterior capsule opacification or Glaucoma.
Yellow-green lasers are used to burn sick retinal tissue in e.g., diabetic retinopathy, or to seal tears in the retina. It can also be used to destroy abnormal blood vessels and to reduce retinal swelling. Very powerful lasers can be used to create a new conduit in the retinal blood vessels to divert the blood flow around an obstruction in patients with retinal vein occlusion. Another laser, called YAG laser, is used to precisely treat tissues inside the eye.
