Femtosecond laser era in eye pressure treatment
The new FLIGHT technique, which requires no incisions or implants, has started to be applied in glaucoma treatment in Turkey.
Developed for the treatment of glaucoma, commonly known as eye pressure, the FLIGHT technique requiring no incisions or implants has been made available to patients in Turkey as well.
Glaucoma Disease and Its Importance
Glaucoma, caused by the failure to balance intraocular fluid, is a serious health problem that can lead to permanent vision loss if not diagnosed early.
It is projected that this condition, affecting millions of people worldwide, will become even more widespread in the future.
Advantages of the FLIGHT Technique
Having started to be applied in Turkey following the UK and Germany, the method significantly shortens operation times.
This innovative approach, which contains no incisions or implants, ensures that patients are discharged immediately after the operation.
Working Principle of the Technology
Applied under image guidance with a femtosecond laser, the method creates microscopic channels on the trabecular meshwork.
Thus, aiming to reduce intraocular pressure, natural outflow is increased and high surgical success is achieved.
