Resumen

RAMOS LOPEZ, Meisy et al. IRIDEX IQ 577 nm micropulse laser. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2018, vol.31, n.1, pp.112-122. ISSN 0864-2176.

ABSTRACT Micropulse is a laser technology that consists in providing only a fraction of the energy typically used to obtain a given effect. The clinical efficacy of 577 nm laser manifests in a favorable therapeutic response with minimal collateral damage both in conventional continuous wave treatments and in micropulse mode for some macular diseases, such as diabetic macular edema, central serous retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion. IQ577TM also offers TxCell technology, which allows the use of multi-spot patterns, increasing efficiency when applying the therapy and making the process less painful for patients. On the other hand, it has advantages for the treatment of glaucoma, because, unlike traditional trabeculoplasty, micropulse laser trabeculoplasty is not destructive, making it possible to re-treat patients not achieving the desired intraocular pressure. The purpose of the study was to characterize micropulse laser IRIDEX IQ577TM. A bibliographic review was conducted based on a search in various publications related to the specialty, using the databases of leading ophthalmology journals.

Palabras clave : laser; IQ577TM; micropulse; photocoagulation.
