VIDEO: ViaLase working to optimize FLigHT procedure for glaucoma

In this Healio Video Perspective from the American Glaucoma Society meeting, Richard Lewis, MD, chief medical officer of ViaLase, discusses femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy for the treatment of glaucoma.

“Most of our imaging has been suboptimal in glaucoma surgery,” Lewis said. “The MIGS procedures have been handicapped by a gonioscopic image that is less than ideal, makes it challenging to place the stents and very difficult particularly for the non-glaucoma surgeon.”

The procedure, called FLigHT, is designed to address that problem by combining high-definition gonioscopic imaging with OCT.

“We are embarking on optimizing the procedure,” Lewis said. “It’s an exciting time for ViaLase, and I think it will be an exciting time for all glaucoma surgeons when this technology become available.”
