Laser technology has revolutionized many fields. In ophthalmology, laser systems are used to photocoagulate, cut, remove, and stretch eye tissues. New types of lasers and applications continue to develop. This article will focus on the Nd: YAG laser and its role in treating ophthalmic disorders. The first LASER was constructed in 1960 at Huges Research…

The History of the OCT
Optical Coherence Tomography, or ‘OCT’, is a technique for obtaining sub-surface images of opaque materials at a resolution equivalent to a low-power microscope. It is effectively optical ultrasound imaging from within tissue to provide cross-sectional images. Ocular (or ophthalmic) OCT is used by ophthalmologists and Optometrists to obtain high-resolution images of the retina and anterior segment. OCT’s capability to show cross-sections of…
About Topographers
Topographers Corneal topography is a computer-assisted diagnostic tool that creates a three-dimensional map of the surface curvature of the cornea. The cornea (the front window of the eye) is responsible for about 70 percent of the eye’s focusing power. An eye with normal vision has an evenly rounded cornea, but if the cornea is too…
What is the Norlase LEAF
What is the Norlase LEAF The Norlase LEAF™ will give ophthalmologists the flexibility in a green laser they have long desired. This system requires minimal set-up and requires very little space as compared to other lasers. This innovative laser attaches to an existing slit lamp so it doesn’t require additional carts or table space. Most…
