Femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy (FLigHT), a noninvasive glaucoma treatment, is made possible by the ViaLase Laser by combining femtosecond laser technology with micron-level image guiding.
Using a noninvasive, nonsurgical method to create channels in the trabecular meshwork (TM) to lower intraocular pressure (IOP), the new FLigHT procedure will provide doctors increased vision and precision.
