Yag Vitreolysis is also called “Floater Busting”. It is a non-invasive, pain free procedure that can eliminate the visual disturbance caused by floaters. The goal of vitreolysis is to remove the hindrance caused by floaters. Vitreolysis works by applying nanosecond pulses of laser to evaporate vitreous opacities and cut vitreous strands. During this process the collagen and hyaluronic acid molecules are converted to gas. This results in the floater being removed or reduced in size so it does not impede vision . If you have problems with floaters you can make an appointment to have them assessed for treatment at Cairns Eye Surgery.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a simple, yet highly effective laser procedure that reduces intraocular pressure in glaucoma. SLT is a painless procedure. It works by using short pulses of low energy light to target melanin and pigment cells in the trabecular meshwork. This causes remodelling of the trabecular meshwork which improves drainage and lowers the intraocular pressure. SLT can be repeated up to 3 times in one eye and can give up to 20 years off topical medications for glaucoma.

Pterygium is a fibrovascular growth of tissue that extends from the white part of the eye (the sclera)onto the clear part of the eye (the cornea). Most pterygia grow from the nasal aspect of the cornea. Pterygia can interfere with sight by extending onto the cornea and impairing vision, they can also become recurrently irritated and inflamed. Pterygia are removed surgically and prevented from recurring by taking some of a patient’s own stem cells from the eye with a graft to prevent regrowth. This operation is highly successful and usually gives an excellent cosmetic result. See More @ https://cairnseyesurgery.com.au/eye-clinic-services/pterygium-surgery/

MIGS is an acronym for Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery.
