Ophthalmic

Nd:YAG lasers generate photodisruptive effects in the eye by forming plasma and generating localised mechanical shock waves that can destroy tissue when highly focused. These devices are used to perform procedures such as posterior capsulotomy, iridotomy, pupillary membranectomy, iridectomy, posterior membranectomy, YAG vitreolysis and selective laser trabeculoplasty to treat various eye diseases.
