Ooglaser

Ooglaser is a class of ophthalmic laser systems designed to perform precise tissue modification in the eye. Developed for refractive and intraocular procedures, these devices aim to reshape corneal tissue, perform corneal incisions, or deliver targeted laser energy to intraocular structures with high precision and controlled safety margins.

Most Ooglaser platforms employ ultrafast laser sources, including femtosecond or short-pulse excimer-type beams, combined with advanced beam delivery and eye-tracking. Real-time imaging and wavefront-guided data inform treatment plans, while adjustable spot size, energy, and pulse duration allow customized ablation patterns. The devices integrate a patient interface to stabilize the eye and protect surrounding tissues during activation.

Common applications include corneal refractive surgery, such as surface ablation and flap creation, keratoplasty-associated procedures, and intraocular capsulotomy or lens fragmentation during cataract surgery. In retina therapy, ancillary laser modes can perform photocoagulation or vitreoretinal work. The Ooglaser platform is often compatible with imaging modalities like optical coherence tomography to guide treatment and monitor outcomes.

Safety and regulatory considerations emphasize patient screening, proper anesthesia, and device-specific training. Risks include transient dry eye, night vision disturbances, corneal ectasia in unsuitable corneas, inflammation, infection, or unintended retinal injury. Regulatory clearance varies by jurisdiction and typically requires clinical data on safety and efficacy. Long-term outcomes depend on patient factors and adherence to postoperative care.
