About Laser Floater Treatment. During the procedure the laser emits a short and small burst of energy at a potent power density. This energy converts the collagen and hyaluronic molecules found in a floater into a gas, which is then resorbed into the eye. On average, most patients can expect a 60% to 90% improvement in the mass and/or amount of
30 May 2019 Moreover, this laser platform allows the operator's vision, the target illumination, and the treatment beam to sit along the same optical path and the
We also require a full dilated eye exam and evaluation of your retina to rule out other problems prior to proceeding with treatment. LASER FLOATER TREATMENT, LFT ESCRS/EURETINA 2018, VIENNA Ellex invites you to join LFT expert Paul Singh. MD (USA) at the combined meeting of EURETINA/ESCRS 2018, … Q: Does laser treatment of vitreous floaters require FDA approval of the laser? A: Probably not. According to Dr. John Karickhoff, “The FDA ruled that our study of laser treatment of vitreous opacities was a non-significant risk device study, and they ruled for the first time that a YAG laser could be used without special approval.” 1 Laser Surgery for Eye Floaters The use of the YAG laser for eye floaters (vitreolysis, or Laser Floater Treatment, LFT) has been around for over 20 years. It is a quiet secret in the field of ophthalmology as it is not taught in training programs, or discussed much in journals and continuing medical education.

Peter Karth, MD, MBA, discusses his clinical experience with Laser Floater Treatment and how he sees the role of Laser Floater Treatment in comparison with vitrectomy. Dr. Karth also provides his two most important pearls for Laser Floater Treatment. A: When a floater is significant, limiting vision and compromising the patient’s ability to function, surgical treatment may have merit.
Ellex technology enables lower energy, IOL-friendly treatment; Precision in incision. Ellex’s custom-designed laser cavity, which is at the heart of our YAG laser range, delivers a four nanosecond Ultra Gaussian pulse at high peak power and can typically produce the industry’s lowest energy optical breakdown in air at 1.8 mJ.*
Laser Floater Treatment is rarely covered by insurance. The cost is $1850 per eye, which includes up to 2 treatments. Most patients do require 2 treatments. Dr. Ross will block an hour for your treatment.

During the procedure the laser emits a short and small burst of energy at a potent power density.
First described in 1985, 1 the procedure has been hampered by an inability to superimpose the illuminating light source of the laser with the path of the laser beam. 2 The goal of treatment has been to disrupt floaters into smaller fragments rather than vapourise them. 3 This is because it was much more difficult to vapourise a floater with a laser

It has been approved for the indication of Posterior Membranectomy whereby it offers the potential to improve the patient’s perception of visual functionality. Ellex does not accept any responsibility for use of the system outside of these indications. Among the topics discussed are the emergence and evolution of laser floater treatment, how they construct their treatment algorithms, proper patient selection, and the improved safety and efficacy of laser floater treatment after the introduction of technology advancements including True Coaxial Illumination™ (Ellex). ELLEX is a laser treatment for floaters. It is commonly assumed that the laser breaks the vitreous strands into smaller pieces; actually, the laser energy converts the vitreous into gas and then the eye promptly absorbs the gas. The result is that the floater is reduced in size or eliminated and no longer interferes with quality of vision.
