VisioLite® Ophthalmic Laser System

• Compact design for ease of use and convenience in a clinical setting
• Flexibility and Control of operation at high repetition rates (for fast procedures) and at a short pulse width (for reduced thermal effects) adding value in safety and precision
• The Er:YAG wavelength matches that of the tissue (water) absorption peak making it a more effective tool for precise tissue ablation and accurate vision correction
• The Er:YAG wavelength eliminates the potential risk of mutanagenic side effects which may be a concern in UV lasers
• The Laser Tissue interaction at 2.94um is superior to any other wavelength since 95% connective tissue is comprised primarily of WATER
• Unlike other lasers at different wavelengths, the VisioLite® laser essentially vaporizes the water out of the tissue without significant thermal side effects and has these advantages in Laser Tissue interaction:

  • o 10-20X better absorbed by water than CO2 at 10.6um
  • o 3X better absorbed by water than Er:YSGG at 2.79um
  • o Ablation threshold for water at 2.94um about 1 J/cm2
  • o The ablation occurs instantly and is a surface effect only.
