Ophthalmic Green Laser System – Amogh Smart
Precision Treatment for Retinal Disorders at Vijay Eye Care Hospital
At Vijay Eye Care Hospital, we leverage the latest in medical technology to protect and preserve your vision. The Amogh Smart Ophthalmic Green Laser System is a cornerstone of our retinal department. This advanced 532nm wavelength laser allows our specialists to perform precise photocoagulation to treat various sight-threatening conditions with minimal discomfort and maximum accuracy.
What is the Green Laser System?
The Green Laser (532nm) is specifically designed for treating the retina. The energy from the laser is absorbed by the pigmented tissues in the back of the eye, allowing the surgeon to create tiny, therapeutic “welds” or scars. These scars can seal leaking blood vessels, bridge retinal tears, or reduce oxygen demand in diseased tissue.
Conditions Treated with Amogh Smart
The Amogh Smart system is highly versatile and is used to manage a variety of complex retinal conditions:
Diabetic Retinopathy: Specifically used for Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation (PRP) to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy by shrinking abnormal blood vessels.
Retinal Tears and Holes: Laser treatment “tacks down” the retina around a tear, preventing fluid from seeping under it and causing a full retinal detachment.
Macular Edema: Targets leaking microaneurysms near the macula to reduce swelling and prevent central vision loss.
Retinal Vein Occlusions: Helps manage complications like vitreous hemorrhage or glaucoma caused by blockages in the retinal veins.
Lattice Degeneration: Strengthening thinning areas of the retina to prevent future complications.
Why Choose the Amogh Smart System?
The “Smart” features of the Amogh system provide significant advantages for both the surgeon and the patient:
Uniform Energy Delivery: Ensures that every laser spot is consistent, leading to more predictable outcomes and safer treatment.
Precision Control: The system allows for ultra-fine adjustments to spot size and duration, which is critical when working near the delicate central part of the retina.
Enhanced Patient Comfort: The system is designed to deliver effective energy with shorter pulse durations, which significantly reduces the sensation of heat or pain during the procedure.
Integrated Slit-Lamp Delivery: The laser is seamlessly integrated into our diagnostic equipment, allowing you to remain in a comfortable seated position during the treatment.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
A retinal laser session is an outpatient procedure and does not require an overnight stay.
Preparation: Your pupils will be dilated with eye drops. Numbing drops are then applied to ensure the procedure is painless.
The Procedure: You will sit at a slit lamp (similar to a standard eye exam). A special contact lens may be placed on your eye to focus the laser light. You will see bright flashes of green light.
Duration: The treatment typically takes between 10 to 20 minutes depending on the condition being treated.
Aftercare: Your vision will be blurred and you will be sensitive to light for a few hours due to the dilation. You must have someone drive you home. Most patients can return to normal activities the following day.
Safeguarding Your Sight
Retinal diseases often progress without pain. If you have diabetes or have noticed sudden floaters or flashes of light, a laser evaluation may be necessary. At Vijay Eye Care Hospital, our use of the Amogh Smart Green Laser ensures you receive the highest standard of retinal care available.
