The IOPtiMate™ CO₂ Laser Assisted Filtration Surgery procedure enables the controlled use of a CO₂ laser to thin the scleral tissue at the Schlemm's Canal zone without full scleral penetration, facilitating percolation of fluid through the remaining intact membrane and the reduction of IOP. As an all-inclusive platform for laser-assisted Sclerectomy, the IOPtiMate™ is designed to achieve functional, simple, reproducible and optimal results from surgery, with all the advantages of a minimally invasive procedure, with related complications. This approach may minimize recovery time and allow for the surgeon to achieve surgical competence rapidly compared to existing alternatives. 

 

The IOPtiMate™ CO₂ Laser Assisted Filtration Surgery procedure can be performed at an out-patient clinic and comprises the following steps:
