AT VIALASE®, WE'RE FUELING THE PRACTICE OF NONINVASIVE INTERVENTIONAL GLAUCOMA
With 200 years of combined experience developing femtosecond laser technology, the ViaLase team is singularly focused on changing the way glaucoma is managed.
About UsThe current glaucoma treatment landscape is ripe for disruption
Topical Medication
High noncompliance rates and nonadherence contribute to disease progression.1
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
High failure rates ranging from non effective (~33% of patients) to moderately effective (short duration of ~1 year); with effectiveness decreasing over time.2
Minimally-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
All MIGS procedures are invasive, by definition, and most commonly performed during cataract surgery. This has limited widespread adoption and restricted patient access.
Filtration Surgery
Highly invasive/last resort procedure is complicated and has a failure rate of ~50% at 5 years.3
Introducing the ViaLuxe™ Laser System
Designed to reduce IOP using femtosecond laser precision and micron-accurate image guidance to noninvasively create a customized drainage channel through the trabecular meshwork.

About Our Technology
Unmatched Visualization & Treatment Validation
Proprietary, HD imaging capabilities overcome traditional gonioscopy limitations with uniform illumination of the angle which enables undistorted, wide field-of-view visualization.
Noninvasive, Non-incisional Treatment
The non-incisional approach of FLigHT may allow surgeons to deliver results similar to OR-based interventions, without opening the eye and thus, eliminating vision-threatening complications associated with surgery.
Improved Patient Experience
Rapid recovery results in minimal disruption in the patient’s quality of life with immediate resumption of daily activities. Potential reduction in medication burden also provides benefit by alleviating patient noncompliance and improves quality of life.
Performed as a Standalone Procedure
Increases patient access to an effective primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) treatment.
