    Multichannel femtosecond laser surgery may enhance aqueous outflow more effectively than a single channel approach.

  • 2

    The FLIGHT technique uses the ViaLase laser system to create drainage channels without incisional surgery.

  • 3

    Experimental results showed a significant increase in outflow facility with two channels compared to one.

  • 4

    Immunofluorescent imaging indicated that creating channels in low-flow regions improved fluid dynamics.

  • 5

    The FLIGHT procedure offers a precise, image-guided, incision-free approach to trabeculotomy for glaucoma treatment.
