A study published in the European Journal of Ophthalmology (1) compared combined treatment with intense pulsed light and low-level light therapy (eye-light®) with pharmaceutical treatments (e.g. eye drops).

It found that both IPL and LLLT treatment and hyaluronate sodium drops were effective in treating dry eyes.
However, the combined light therapy showed a statistically significant improvement in OSDI (Ocular Surface Disease Index) and SANDE (Symptom Assessment in Dry Eye) scores with the light treatment, which was not observed in users of artificial tears.

This interesting study once again confirms the superiority of light therapy over topical treatment, especially in the long term (after 6 months).

iCare has added a new ‘Quick Mode’ to its popular IC200 tonometer model.

This innovative feature shortens the measurement cycle from six to three or even just two quick single measurements, making Quick Mode an ideal solution for even the most difficult subjects.

This means that you can now measure even cases such as restless or anxious subjects quickly and easily. The accelerated measurement process with proven rebound technology is of course also much more pleasant for the subject and also optimises the practice workflow.

The manufacturer of the original iCare rebound tonometers offers a sophisticated concept for perfect IOP management and screening: from the practice standard ‘IC100’, through the ‘IC200’ for measuring in any position, to the “HOME2” for convenient home monitoring of your glaucoma patients and the ‘Clinic’ analysis software.
