Multichannel Femtosecond Laser Surgery Shows Promise for Glaucoma

Data from a study presented at ARVO indicated better outflow could be achieved with 2 channels than with 1.

1

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.
