TruFocus LIO+ Operator Manual
13102C-EN
Panretinal photocoagulation (operating room)
The TruFocus LIO+:
•
Is particularly useful for diabetic patients undergoing pars plana
vitrectomy.
•
Allows for better treatment of the superior quadrant than does the
endolaser.
•
Allows better visibility through phakic gas-filled eyes since there are
fewer reflections than present with biconcave lenses.
•
Minimizes the risk of lens damage by the endolaser probe when
treating in the far periphery
.
•
Allows for complete inspection and treatment of the peripheral edges
of a giant tear.
Sealing treatment
•
The TruFocus LIO+ allows easier treatment of the anterior retina than
is possible with either ‘panfundus’ or mirrored-styled contact lenses
used at the slit lamp.
•
Concurrent scleral depression is often helpful to flatten pockets of
subretinal fluid near the retinal tear or detachment using sealing
treatment.
Treating patients who have a gas-filled eye
Postoperatively, patients whose eyes harbor gas bubbles can be quite
difficult to treat because of troublesome reflections at the slit lamp. The
TruFocus LIO+ allows positioning of the eye and the patient’s head to
minimize these reflections.
Treating patients with recent ocular surgery
Postoperative patients often have corneal striae, vitreous and anterior
chamber haze, etc. The TruFocus LIO+ provides better visibility through
these media opacities. As a non-contact procedure, laser indirect
ophthalmoscopy:
•
Avoids discomfort induced by pressure from a contact lens in the
postoperative patient.
•
Reduces stress to recently sutured wounds.
•
Minimizes the risk of infection.
