Trabeculoplasty (SLT), YAG and photocoagulation, developed by Lumenis. The Digital Trio is the only all-in-one anterior segment laser platform that includes both SLT and YAG. This allows the provider to treat all anterior segment laser procedures of SLT, lridotomy, Capsulotomy and Posterior Membranectomy. It streamlines workflow by accelerating practice efficiency by seamlessly connecting the EMR, reporting and integrated imagery. The Trio has proprietary advance laser design. It automatically runs internal tests to ensure that every laser pulse meet exact power requirements; advanced secondary control aunit guarantees the power accuracy of each laser shot;

a unique temperature-controlled KTP crystal ensures the continuous accuracy and stability of the 532nm (green) laser beam. Being a teaching facility, the Digital Duet/Trio has the ability to allow students/residents to watch live. This technology expands the number of people who can watch a procedure in real time.
