VIALUXE LASER SYSTEM & FLigHT STUDY


 

The ViaLuxe™ Laser System is designed to reduce IOP, using a micron resolution OCT image-guided femtosecond laser, to non-invasively create customized drainage channels through the trabecular meshwork.

ViaLuxe Laser System


The machine has the following features =

1. ViaLens Patient Interface:

Non-invasively provides unmatched view and delivery of the femtosecond laser into the trabecular meshwork angle.

2. ViaVue Gonio Camera:

Gonio imaging enables the view of complete structures of the angle in all four quadrants.

3. ViaLuxe Laser:

Precisely creates channels without collateral damage to adjacent tissues.

4. ViaLink:

Bluetooth-connected tablet displays real-time procedure data and diagnostics.

 FLigHT STUDY:

ViaLase, Inc, announced the online publication of 24-month safety data from the first-in-human study of femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy (FLigHT) performed with the ViaLase technology in Ophthalmology Science, a journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

The investigators in this prospective, non-randomized, single-center, interventional, single-arm trial evaluated 11 patients (17 eyes) with open-angle glaucoma following FLigHT treatment, which consisted of the creation of a single channel through the trabecular meshwork and into Schlemm’s canal. At 24 months post-treatment, the authors reported no device-related serious adverse events and observed well-defined channels with no evidence of closure, indicating medium-term durability.

The study data demonstrated a mean IOP reduction of 34.6% from a baseline of 22.3 ± 5.5 to 14.5 ± 2.6 mmHg at 24 months.
