Navilas® at AAO 2019: Laser is Back with Digital Guidance for Posterior Segment Treatments (FOTO)

Irvine, California (ots) -

At the leading ophthalmology meeting in San Francisco, OD-OS
presents user experiences with its digitally guided treatment
platform of the retina in a case poster exhibition and live demos at
booth 2055.

At this week's AAO, the leading ophthalmology conference
worldwide, experts can learn how a new navigated laser platform
brings a level of digital guidance to retina care which is already
state-of-the-art in front-of-the eye treatments. The Navilas® 577s is
a retina laser with integrated eye tracking technology, a transparent
workflow and documentation which proves in more and more clinics and
teaching hospitals to be the next generation digital laser platform
and to contribute to the revival of laser in posterior segment
applications.

At AAO booth 2055, user experiences with the navigated laser are
presented in a case poster exhibition, while live demos allow for
hands-on experience with the Navilas® 577s Laser System.

Presented cases highlight how the Navilas® laser platform can have
advantages over conventional or pattern laser systems in main
posterior segment applications:

- Precise focal treatments, e.g. of macular edema, thanks to
targeting via the overlay of diagnostic images
- Fast and comfortable peripheral treatments, e.g. of retinal
tears, through pre-planning of equidistant laser spots and
computer-guided laser delivery
- Easy-to-control subthreshold treatments, e.g. of central serous
chorioretinopathy, through confluent laser delivery and transparent
documentation of "invisible" laser treatment

These cases are complemented by what users of Navilas® 577s, the
2nd generation navigated laser, are saying:

Dr. Robin Ross, Global Retina Institute, Arizona, USA: "With this
navigated laser, first time in my 20+ years career that I had a full
PRP in one eye, while the patient graded the pain as a 1 and asked to
have the other eye treated same day. The diminished pain experience
improves the odds of follow-up within our patient population. Our
team really feels with the Navilas® we give people a fighting chance
at saving sight."

Dr. Lars Freisberg, Tulsa Retina Consultants, Oklahoma, USA:
"Because treatment with Navilas® is more comfortable for patients,
they more often return for their therapy which has significantly
increased the number of PRP treatments we perform. Therefore,
Navilas® 577s was a worthwhile investment also from the financial
point of view as the system basically paid itself within the first
year."

Dr. Pradeep Prasad, Harbor-UCLA, California, USA: "A challenge
when using subthreshold laser is that you don't have visual feedback.
With Navilas® documentation, it's really transparent where you
applied the laser."
