Abstract:
Purpose: To investigate the safety and efficacy of the use of Navilas 577 (navigated retinal laser)
as a delivery method of laser photocoagulation in the treatment of symptomatic retinal tears and
degenerations.
Methods: We had a retrospective observational study of 40 patients presenting to our Clinic with
a diagnosis of symptomatic retinal tear or degenerations who underwent laser photocoagulation
using a Navigated retinal laser (Navilas 577s). Patients were followed up at two weeks to observ
the efficacy of the use of navigated retinal laser for photocoagulation treatment.
Results: The Navilas Laser System 577 is the next generation after pattern lasers due to the unique
benefits of its proprietary navigation technology that gives us in work.
Attain precision and reliability through the pre-positioning and stabilization of the laser beam on
the retina, in threshold and subthreshold treatments, as it is the only retina laser using eye tracking
Treat the peripheral region faster and more effectively than with conventional pattern scan lasers
via the large field of view and assisted pattern placement.
May perform treatments with comfortable pattern application and best work ergonomics -
optionally under infrared light and without a contact lens.
Conclusions: The use of navigated retinal laser as a method of laser photocoagulation for the
treatment of retinal tears and peripheral degenerations shows comparable safety and efficacy with
other studies using traditional retinal laser systems.
