Ophthalmic solid-state laser systems with photodisruption technology use focused laser energy to create precise, controlled tissue disruption in the eye. Clinically, they’re primarily employed for procedures like cataract extraction and posterior capsulotomy, where mechanical shock waves break down tissue without traditional cutting tools.
These devices are typically regulated as high-risk medical technology due to their precision and direct interaction with ocular structures. They’re often supplied as integrated systems with built-in microscopes or compatible attachments, requiring specialized training for safe clinical use.
