The Ultra-Q Reflex lets surgeons perform anterior or posterior capsulotomy with new-generation IOLs, peripheral iridotomy for glaucoma, or Nd:YAG laser vitreolysis for treating vitreous strands ands

the Vixi Multicolor Pattern Scan Laser
Photocoagulator, which is customizable in 1,
2 or 3 of the most popular colors: green
(532nm), yellow (577nm) and red (647nm),
and available with or without a pattern scanner in all color wavelengths. It's also a solid-state laser, which increases unit longevity.
A key feature is the multiple scanning modes with up to 21 patterns
and memory function. The shorter pulse durations in scan mode
reduce thermal spread and can therefore minimize patient discomfort.
