Advancing the frontiers of retinal care in Mumbai, our state-of-the-art eye hospital is equipped with the Retinal Green Laser, a highly specialized technology tailored for treating various retinal conditions.
The Retinal Green Laser is primarily used for focal and grid photocoagulation in patients with:
This non-invasive procedure involves precisely applying a green laser beam to the affected areas of the retina. This promotes selective photocoagulation to seal leaking blood vessels (in diabetes) and "weld" retinal tears to prevent retinal detachment.
One of the key advantages of the Retinal Green Laser is its ability to target specific areas of the retina without damaging surrounding healthy tissues. Our experienced retinal specialists at Trivision Mumbai skillfully utilize this advanced system to deliver personalized treatments that are effective and well-tolerated.
It is primarily used to treat Diabetic Retinopathy (to stop leaking blood vessels), seal retinal tears to prevent detachment, and manage retinal vein occlusions. The green wavelength is absorbed well by hemoglobin, making it ideal for vascular conditions.
Most patients feel little to no pain. You might experience a sensation of bright flashes of light during the procedure. We use anesthetic eye drops to numb the eye surface, making the experience comfortable.
The procedure is quick, typically taking 10 to 20 minutes in our outpatient clinic. You can go home immediately after the treatment, though your vision may be blurry for a few hours due to dilation.
