SLT Treatment

The Technique

Inside the SimulEYE SLT model is an iris and a pigmented angle structure which will depigment upon application of an SLT laser. Realistic power settings will cause "Champagne bubbles” to form with each pulse which will increase as the energy is increased. A gonioscopy lens must be utilized with a coupling gel to visualize the angle. Doctors can learn how to rotate the lens to treat the eye up to a full 360 degrees.

The SLT Model

This model provides a cornea-scleral shell for use with an SLT laser lens. Inside is an iris and a pigmented angle structure which will depigment upon application of an SLT laser treatment. "Champagne bubbles” form with each pulse and increase as the energy is increased. The model needs to be filled with water prior to use and requires the use of an SLT laser lens with Goniosol or other gels as a coupling agent for visualization. This model is considered single-use. However, multiple laser spots can be applied to each eye before it is consumed.
