NIDEK has announced the launch of the YLC-500 Vixi Yellow Scan Laser Photocoagulator/YLC-500 Yellow Laser Photocoagulator. “The YLC-500 Vixi/YLC-500 is a yellow laser using the innovative OPSL (optically pumped semiconductor laser) method for stable and reliable laser delivery, generating optimal treatment outcomes,” said a company spokesman. “The 577nm yellow laser is minimally absorbed by xanthophyll and is well absorbed by oxygenated hemoglobin compared to the 532nm laser, making it the wavelength of choice for lesions close to the macula,” he added. www.nidek-intl.com
