Ophthalmic laser procedures include photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy, laser DCR (dacryocystorhinostomy) for blocked tear ducts, and retinal laser for tears and detachments. Different wavelengths and probe designs target specific conditions.
Laser photocoagulation uses focused light energy to create controlled burns on retinal tissue. It treats diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, macular edema, and retinal vein occlusion by sealing leaking blood vessels or creating adhesion.
