Retinal Photocoagulation Lasers are used to treat a variety of eye diseases including the two leading causes of blindness in the United States: Diabetic Retinopathy and Age-related Macular Degeneration. This precision laser can lower the risk of vision loss by cauterizing ocular blood vessels. Two types of Photocoagulation Lasers are used for conditions like Diabetic Retinopathy. The first is Focal Photocoagulation, which treats specific leaking blood vessels in the retina. The second is Scatter or Pan-retinal Photocoagulation; this type is used for more widespread damage over the retina. The risk of using a Retinal Photocoagulation Laser are low and side affects are rarely severe. Retinal Photocoagulation Lasers are often combined with other lasers to encompass a multitude of Ophthalmological surgical procedures. Deciding on which Retinal Photocoagulation Laser or combination laser for your practice depends on practice size, common procedures, patient dynamics as well as monetary investment.

The user-friendly features and wide range of delivery | The MC-500 Vixi / MC-500 provides a variety of laser treatments including panretinal photocoagulation for diabetic retinopathy and laser iridotomy for glaucoma with a scan slit lamp delivery unit.
Additionally, our new LPM software allows easier |
| Features | -Stable and reliable yellow laser
-Multiple scan patterns (only for YLC-500 Vixi)
The YLC-500 Vixi has 22 preprogrammed scan patterns to allow treatment of varying retinal pathologies.
-Auto forward (only for YLC-500 Vixi)
Once photocoagulation is completed in one region, the auto forward function automatically positions the scan pattern to the next region of treatment, allowing the surgeon to concentrate on adjusting focus.
-LPM* (Low Power Mode) for minimally invasive photocoagulation (only for YLC-500 Vixi)
LPM is a form of laser photocoagulation that delivers reduced power to the retina for a therapeutic effect. During treatment, the standard (yellow) laser power is decreased by a specified ratio.
*Optional software for YLC-500 Vixi only.
Auto forward function
Auto forward function allows automated positioning of the scan pattern for photocoagulation.
Arcade grid scan pattern
In addition to regular mode, LPM includes a scan pattern that prevents treatment in a central circular area within the grid.
-User friendly features
An intuitive graphic user interface and easy-to-read touch screen color LCD allow quick and easy setup and verification of the scan pattern and treatment parameters.
-Wide range of selectable delivery units

| Lightweight and compact design
This multifunction laser is housed in a small console. The space-saving design allows portablility to virtually any room. The GYC-500 can be integrated into the NIDEK CV-30000, ophthalmic surgical system.
5.7-inch color LCD with touchscreen control box
An intuitive graphic user interface and easy-to-read touch screen color LCD allows quick and easy setup along with verification of the scan pattern and treatment parameters.
Stable and reliable green laser
The GYC-500 Vixi / GYC-500 ensures stable laser output by using a solid state laser. Two cooling fans in the console maintain the correct internal temperature.
Multiple scan patterns (available for GYC-500 Vixi)
Incorporating Vixi, scan delivery units, into the GYC-500 enables laser treatments with various scan patterns. There are 22 preprogrammed scan patterns to allow treatment of varying retinal pathologies. The GYC-500 Vixi enhances treatment efficiency and reduces patient chair time.
Auto forward (available for GYC-500 Vixi)
Once photocoagulation is completed in one region, the GYC-500 Vixi allows automated advancement to the next region for delivery of the next scan pattern during photocoagulation.
