The Capsulo Nd:YAG laser is Quantel Medical’s fully integrated, easy to use, and versatile laser platform for performing capsulotomy and iridotomy, according to its holding company, Lumibird Medical. The value of Nd:YAG laser treatment for secondary cataract is clear from the incidence of postoperative secondary cataract, which is between 10% and 50% within 3 to 5 years in the literature, Lumibird stated in a news release.

“Capsulo is built with exclusive high-quality optics delivering pristine clarity of view into the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Advanced illumination with a variable-height light tower offers dual illumination angles of 16° and 7.5° for anterior and posterior laser applications,” said Matthew Metcalfe, anterior segment laser product manager at Lumibird Medical. The Capsulo Nd:YAG laser can be paired with the Quantel Medical Vitra 2 Multispot photocoagulating laser to add panretinal photocoagulation through one slit lamp.
