Diabetic retinopathy In poorly controlled diabetes, the high sugar concentration in the blood damages tiny blood vessels. The surrounding retinal tissue and its visual cells are no longer optimally supplied. As a result, the growth of new blood vessels is stimulated - in a futile attempt to compensate for the poor circulation of the retina. This abnormal vascularization can cause bleeding into the interior of the eye. At this point, vision is already severely impaired. Most sensory cells are located in the central area of the retina (macula), which is responsible for sharp vision. If fluid from the damaged vessels accumulates within the macula, it swells and eyesight is seriously threatened. Venous occlusion and other vascular diseases of the retina These diseases also disrupt the tissue or the blood vessels, which can lead to impaired vision and may make laser treatment necessary. Retinal laser treatment can prevent the progression of the disease The laser energy is precisely targeted at the retina. Slight local warming is applied to diseased retinal tissue that is no longer perfused and seals leaking vessels. The oxygen supply in the healthy areas is consequently improved. The edema is usually reduced. The abnormal growth of leaking blood vessels is diminished.

What is navigated retinal laser treatment? Advantages to navigated laser treatment1 These days, we could scarcely do without the navigation and assistance systems in vehicles and planes which bring us reliably and safely to our destination. This technology has also found a place in ophthalmology, for example where state-of-the-art laser technology is used to correct defective vision. These eye-tracking systems are an indispensable part of ophthalmology. However, the retinal laser is still used manually. To date, the Navilas® Laser System is the only retinal laser system that uses modern eye-tracking...
