Owing to its properties, the laser shortens the procedure, especially during treatments of large retinal areas, and eliminates complaints of pain. Supra Scan 577 Multi-Spot laser from Quantel is used in the following retinal conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>retinal breaks, which, if untreated, may lead to retinal detachment,<\/li>\n<li>proliferative diabetic retinopathy with retinal neovascularisation and haemorrhages,<\/li>\n<li>focal areas of retinal edema occurring in diabetic retinopathy,<\/li>\n<li>retinal vein occlusion,<\/li>\n<li>certain vascular anomalies of the retina.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>In addition, the laser has a micro-pulse mode, recommended in the treatment of:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>chronic, recurrent forms of serous chorioretinopathy,<\/li>\n<li>central retinal edemas occurring in retinal diseases of vascular origin, such as diabetic retinopathy or post-thrombotic lesions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Lasers used in the treatment of glaucoma, secondary cataract and floaters:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These include neodymium YAG lasers and diode lasers. YAG lasers are used in the treatment of secondary cataract, to make an incision of the opacified capsule after cataract surgery, and also to perform openings in the iris, so called laser iridotomy, and iridoplasty. In the treatment of open-angle glaucoma, the SLT procedure is used, which improves the fluid outflow from the eyeball. In the treatment of glaucoma, diode lasers are also used. OCHO owns the first in Poland laser Cyclo G6 from an American company Iridex. It may be used to perform so called cyclophotocoagulation by a traditional method, used in terminal stages of glaucoma due to a significant risk of complications, but also by a novel and safe method of micropulse cyclophotocoagulation. In almost 70% patients it results in significant reduction of pressure, and it may be repeated and performed in any type and stage of glaucoma. Floaters are also removed with the use of YAG laser with Ultra Q Reflex technology, emitting very short, nanosecond pulses. Both the laser from an Australian company Ellex, and Nd-YAG lasers for iridotomy, iridoplasty, capsulotomy and SLT from renown companies Lumenis, ARC and Quantel Medical are in the permanent offer of OCHO Medical Group of Professor Zag\u00f3rski.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator]<h2 style=\"text-align:left;\" class=\"ts-custom-heading \" >FAQ<\/h2>\n[vc_tta_accordion active_section=&#8221;111&#8243; collapsible_all=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What does a basic ophthalmological visit look like and what examinations does it include?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1644268721449-dd2519c0-e524&#8243;][vc_column_text]During a basic ophthalmological visit, the patient&#8217;s ophthalmological history is taken, and the following examinations are conducted: autorefraction, keratometry, intraocular pressure measurement, visual acuity examination, slit lamp examination and fundoscopic examination.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Is it possible to have some specialist examinations during a general visit?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1644692622466-f410aa56-2b54&#8243;][vc_column_text]In most cases, yes.
