How to treat retina today?

subliminal laser therapy treatment application

For a quarter of a century, laser photocoagulation has been considered a safe and effective treatment option for macular pathologies. Over the years, the development and introduction of new and innovative macular laser technologies has confirmed that, alongside intravitreal injections, photocoagulation laser therapy still plays a valuable role in the surgeons’ treatment armamentarium.

Today, ophthalmologists can offer their patients enhanced retinal treatment options, with greater safety and efficacy than ever before.

Subliminal laser therapy:

Unlike conventional thermal laser, Subliminal laser therapy is a non-damaging treatment mode based on a train of microsecond pulses.

It involves a series of repetitive laser pulses with intervals (cooling times) and produces a therapeutic treatment effect without inducing scarring or RPE damage on clinical examination during or after treatment.

Its use is dedicated to the treatment of macular diseases.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: Can it be treated without Visudyne?

03/05/2022
Given the difficulty of obtaining verteporfin for chronic CSCR, it is worth considering subthreshold laser therapy as an alternative given its comparable efficacy and practical advantages. We know that the prognosis for this disease depends on the level of disease progression, so a therapeutic option that allows for an undelayed treatment is extremely interesting.
