tern laser delivery, so surgeons
can deliver 10 to 20 laser shots
with a single squeeze of the trig-
ger, in order to have a better
chance of vaporizing floaters, and
an integrated range finder to take
the guesswork out of determining
how far the floater is from the
eye's lens and retina.
Surgeons are currently instructed
to blast away if the floater is in
focus and the retina is out of focus,
and to hold their fire if they can see
both clearly. "Those are clinical
pearls, not an exact science," says
Dr. Singh. "There's work being
done to provide surgeons with spe-
cific measurements before they
activate the laser."

plasty (SLT)
SLT is far from a new treatment
to reduce intraocular pressure in
glaucoma patients, but the laser is
experiencing a bit of renaissance
now that minimally invasive glau-
coma surgery (MIG) is gaining
traction, according to Dr. Singh,
who says surgeons don't currently
