The laser would be used with Bausch & Lomb’s Visudyne, an injectable photosensitizing drug used in photodynamic therapy for patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization, or the creation of abnormal choroidal blood vessels, due to age-related macular degeneration. 

The ML6710i laser is transportable and controlled from a mobile app. Its shaping unit can be fit into all common slit lamps for eye examinations. 

It is expected to be available for eye care professionals in 2023.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
