Beyond the Beam: How Different Lasers Transform Eye Care?
August 21, 2025
Ophthalmology has seen remarkable advancements with the introduction of various laser technologies; each tailored for specific conditions:
YAG Laser
The YAG laser is widely used for treating after-cataract, helping to clear cloudy vision by creating a small opening in the lens capsule.
Argon Laser
The Argon laser is frequently employed in retinal conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, to seal leaking blood vessels.
Green Laser
The green laser is particularly effective in treating glaucoma by improving fluid drainage from the eye.
Excimer Laser
The excimer laser is a cornerstone of refractive surgery, correcting refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism by reshaping the cornea.
Femtosecond Laser
The femtosecond laser has revolutionized refractive and cataract surgery, offering enhanced precision and faster recovery times.
