MicroPulse ® Transscleral Laser Therapy (TLT), continuous-wave transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (CW-TSCPC), and MicroPulse Laser Trabeculoplasty (MLT) are non-incisional treatments that expand ways to manage, preserve, and prolong vision for glaucoma patients.
Sweep Management Software for MicroPulse TLT is now integrated into the Cyclo G6 ® Glaucoma Laser System, and supports the sweep duration methodology shared by the International MicroPulse TLT Delphi Panel.
Glaucoma, comprehensive plus retina surgeons will present best practices using Iridex MicroPulse, Endpoint Management ® and continuous-wave laser technologies at our booth #5139.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Iridex Corporation (NASDAQ: IRIX), a provider of innovative ophthalmic laser-based medical products for the treatment of glaucoma and retinal diseases, will showcase non-incisional glaucoma treatments, introduce its Sweep Management Software program, and host 8 physician presentations in the 2022 American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting in Chicago, September 30 – October 3.
MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy (TLT) & Attract Management Software
