Designed Specifically for Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Procedures

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, April 21, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Tailored to the unique needs of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty procedures, Volk Optical's new SLT Lens provides detailed, high resolution views of the anterior chamber angle for examination and laser spot placement.

The SLT's single internally reflecting surface, the preferred standard for SLT procedures, delivers 1.0x magnification, maintaining laser spot size and power density. Its curved upper lens surface ensures the laser beam profile remains circular, for consistent laser spot placement. The contact lens design, used with a coupling fluid, provides stability for laser delivery. These qualities also make the SLT lens suitable for all laser trabeculoplasty procedures.

High grade acrylic construction maintains superior resolution for the best possible image quality. Internal surfaces around the lens are treated to eliminate light diffusion. A smaller profile simplifies manipulation of the SLT lens, especially in a patient with a deep set eye or brow.
