Key takeaways:
- The procedure demonstrated the safety of the femtosecond laser in the anterior segment.
- There was a lack of thermal collateral damage during femtosecond laser trabeculotomy.
NEW ORLEANS — In this Healio Video Perspective from the ARVO meeting, Eric Mikula, MS, PhD, discusses positive safety results for the ViaLase femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy.
In a study, three imaging modalities revealed that collagen fibers, endothelial cells and the outer wall surrounding Schlemm’s canal in the vicinity of the FLigHT channel were preserved.
“These findings add to the growing body of evidence garnered over the last 20 years demonstrating the safety of the femtosecond laser in the anterior segment,” Mikula said. “More specifically, they provide strong evidence demonstrating a lack of thermal collateral damage during the FLigHT procedure with ViaLase.”
