Iridex announced that an international consensus panel of ten glaucoma experts will discuss MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy and their conclusions for proper dosing and patient selection on November 6 at 10:00 am PT/ 1:00 pm ET. In the live discussion, attendees will learn recommendations for treatment optimization and settings with the MicroPulse P3 Probe, understand the concept of fluence and the importance of sweep speed, as well as identify the clinical drivers for patient selection, outcomes, and safety.
“As Micropulse TLT emerges as a key tool in the management of glaucoma, this panel convened to execute a complete analysis of the clinical, technical, practical evidence and experience to date with the MicroPulse P3 and created a consensus document with recommendations for the worldwide clinical application of MicroPulse TLT,” said Thomas Grippo, MD. “Our findings will help providers understand the concept of fluence and the importance of sweep speed, as well as identify the most important clinical drivers for patient selection, outcomes, and safety.”
