Which term describes reattachment of a detached retina by using a laser?
Laser retinopexy is the term for reattaching a detached retina using laser therapy. This procedure involves using a laser to create burns around the retinal tear to seal it and prevent further detachment.
How do you get hypertrichosis?
Hypertrichosis is a rare condition that causes excessive hair growth on the body. It can be either congenital or acquired, and can be hereditary or caused by certain medications, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. Treatment options vary depending on the cause and may include medications, laser therapy, or hair removal techniques.
Is blue laser cheaper than red laser?
In general, red lasers tend to be more affordable than blue lasers due to differences in manufacturing costs and market demand. Blue laser diodes are more complex to produce and require higher precision, which can contribute to their higher price compared to red laser diodes.
Can laser lights damage eyeballs?
Yes, laser lights can potentially damage the eyes if they are powerful enough and focused directly into the eyes. Exposure to high intensity laser light can cause vision impairment or even permanent damage to the retina. It is important to use caution and protective eyewear when working with lasers to prevent eye injuries.
Can a cheap laser burn?
Yes, a cheap laser can burn objects, especially if it is focused to a high intensity. However, the burning capability of the laser will depend on its power output and the material being targeted. It is important to handle lasers with caution to prevent accidents or injuries.
What are the Treatment Options for Retinal Detachment?
Laser Photocoagulation: Laser photocoagulation may be used in small, localized retinal detachments. This procedure involves using a laser to create minor burns around the detached area, sealing the tear, and reattaching the retina.
What risks exist for the patient who has undergone photocoagulation therapy?
The most common risks of laser photocoagulation therapy are mild discomfort at the beginning of the procedure and the possibility that a second laser treatment will be needed to reattach the retina securely.
How should patients be prepared for photocoagulation therapy?
Preparation for photocoagulation therapy consists of eye drops that dilate the pupil of the eye and numb the eye itself. The laser treatment is painless, although some patients require additional anesthetic for sensitivity to the laser light.
What does laser photocoagulation accomplish?
The procedure stops leakage of abnormal blood vessels by burning them to slow the progress of the disease.
What is the use of green laser in opthalmology?
I believe you are referring to the Argon Green laser? It's principal uses in ophthalmology are in retinal photocoagulation for vitreoretinal surgeries and diabetic retinopathy.
What is photocoagulation therapy?
Photocoagulation therapy is a method of treating detachments (tears) of the retina (the layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye) with an argon laser. The high-intensity beam of light from the laser is converted into heat.
What does diabetic retinopathy treatment consist of?
One of the main treatments of retinopathy treatment is laser photocoagulation. This is a harmless laser treatment and patients may go home after the procedure is complete.
Under what circumstances is laser photocoagulation performed?
when the retinal tear is small or the detachment is slight. The surgeon points the laser beam through a contact lens to burn the area around the retinal tear.
What is photocoagulation?
Surgical coagulation of tissue by means of intense light energy, such as a laser, performed to destroy abnormal tissues or to form http://www.answers.com/topic/adhesive scars, especially in http://www.answers.com/topic/ophthalmology
How may laser photocoagulation serve as an alternative to retinal cryopexy?
by destroying outer retinal tissue, thus reducing the oxygen requirements of the retina, and increasing oxygen delivery to the remaining retina through alterations in oxygen diffusion from the choroid.
How many laser treatments are required to remove rosacea?
Rosacea is a facial skin disorder. It is caused by visible blood vessels and can be cured with a minimum of 3 treatments via a vascular laser or in extreme cases a CO2 laser.
How has the laser improved your lives?
it can help because it is less painful and it treats your illness much faster than anything i have ever tried.
