LP-YAG Laser Procedures
Description:
Ophthalmic YAG laser procedures produce results via photodisruption. This lecture will review the characteristics of laser light and basic laser physics concepts to promote an understanding of the photodisruption interaction. Special attention will be placed on utilization of YAG laser in posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy (PI). Alternative applications for YAG lasers in ophthalmic care will also be reviewed including anterior capsulotomy, anterior stromal puncture, anterior vitreolysis, suture lysis, and embolysis.

Constant presence: Alliance builds reputation for patient safety advocacy
Founded five years ago, the Health Care Alliance for Patient Safety (HCAPS) is making good on its mission to advocate for patient safety and protect the fundamental doctor-patient relationship. The alliance’s advocacy will be recognized with the AOA’s Apollo Award during a ceremony at the 2023 Optometry’s Meeting® June 21-24.
What defines the value of care we provide?
Health and vision plans have not adapted and grown with the care we deliver but hold back optometry’s momentum.
How to speak the universal language of care
How to create a bilingual and culturally sensitive practice, why it matters to patients and how it can set you apart from the competition.
