MCPC
In gentle µCPC treatment, the laser energy is delivered to the ciliary muscle in 500 µs pulses and the total energy is applied with low energy density by moving the probe along the hemispheres. By pulsing the laser at a duty cycle of 33.3 %, the thermal effect is greatly reduced compared to cyclophotocoagulation.
As a result, the side effect profile is significantly reduced and the patient’s sensation of pain after treatment is almost negligible compared to CPC. Only temporary, superficial irritation of the conjunctiva and sclera occurs, if at all
The µCPC procedure
The gentle way to optimize aqueous humor outflow.
With the µCPC treatment, A.R.C. Laser offers a gentle procedure for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.
The aim of the treatment is to slightly shrink the ciliary muscle and not to permanently damage the ciliary body. This puts the trabecular meshwork under tension and improves the outflow of aqueous humor.
In contrast to cyclophotocoagulation, with µCPC the laser energy is applied with a slow and continuous sliding movement of the special µCPC probe along the hemispheres. The laser energy is not delivered continuously, but in individual, repetitive laser pulses with a duration of 500 µs each.
