µCPC – a quite new form of therapy in open angle glaucoma is based on very short clocked laser pulses in the microsecond range (µs) and thus represents a gentle, non-tissue-damaging treatment of the ciliary body muscle. The diode laser FOX 810 offers this non-invasive therapy, which aims to increase the outflow of the aqueous fluid in order to effectively reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).
During outpatient treatment, only a special designed laser probe is placed on the surface of the eye, an invasive opening of the eye is not necessary. The laser energy is introduced into the eye, more precisely the ciliary body, by a slow movement of the μCPC probe along the two hemispheres. This reduces the typical side effects of traditional cyclophotocoagulation to a minimum. Thereby a substantially earlier use of the diode laser is possible. Ideal in patients who do not respond to regular medication, desire to reduce medication or who have not experienced sufficient pressure reduction after SLT treatment.
CPC
In more serious cases, we offer the FOX 810 diode laser for cyclophotocoagulation (CPC). This non-invasive treatment is very effective, since by means of selective coagulation the ciliary body partially is damaged and thus the production of the aqueous fluid can be reduced. This treatment is done with the appropriate Cyclo Probe predominantly in open angle glaucoma with a very high pressure.
