In refractive and cataract surgery, femtosecond lasers have increased precision and reduced complications.
They have also allowed surgeons to differentiate their practices and offer new technology that is inherently appealing to patients. In the years to come, femtosecond lasers could play a significant role in meeting some of the unmet needs in glaucoma care, as well.
Femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy (FLigHT) is a new noninvasive procedure undergoing clinical investigation for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma. In a FLigHT treatment, the femtosecond laser (ViaLuxe
