Working in laser retinopexy and wondering which type of laser glasses to use? The laser you’re using to seal a tear in someone’s retina is obviously capable of burning your own retina. To protect your eyes, you’ll want to wear laser safety glasses during the laser retinopexy procedure.
LASER SAFETY GLASSES FOR LASER RETINOPEXY
For procedures involving Argon lasers, we recommend using Argon KTP laser safety glasses (LS-AKP). These glasses will protect your eyes from the Argon laser during the procedure, ensuring your safety from stray, scattered, or reflected laser beams.
Argon lasers are used for laser retinopexy due to their ability to precisely target the retina, which also means they can cause damage if proper safety measures are not taken. Therefore, wearing the right laser safety glasses is crucial to prevent accidental retinal burns.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FRAME
During retinopexy procedures, it’s important to consider the frame style. As these procedures are often outpatient, the patient will see you in your laser glasses. Wearing modern wraparound frames can make you appear more approachable and keep the patient at ease.
