Our medical laser eye surgery procedures are designed to treat diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, retinal disorders, and post-cataract complications using the latest laser eye surgery technology available in Calgary.
Early Laser Eye Surgery Treatment is Critical
Many eye conditions requiring laser eye surgery are progressive and can cause irreversible vision loss if not treated promptly. Recent nationwide clinical trials show laser eye surgery is highly effective in preventing visual loss from diabetic eye disease when performed early. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, early detection and treatment are crucial for preserving vision.

Specialized retinal and glaucoma specialists
Laser photocoagulation remains the gold-standard treatment for diabetic retinopathy. Our panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) and focal laser treatments help prevent vision loss by sealing leaking blood vessels and reducing abnormal vessel growth.
We offer advanced laser procedures to manage glaucoma. SLT improves fluid drainage to control glaucoma progression. LPI creates a drainage pathway to prevent narrow-angle closure.
Laser barrage therapy creates controlled burns around retinal tears to prevent retinal detachment. This prophylactic treatment can save vision by creating adhesions that secure the retina.
For post-cataract YAG laser capsulotomy, yes. For diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal tears, it rarely restores vision but is highly effective at preventing further vision loss. The goal is to stabilize and preserve remaining vision.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. We use topical anesthetic drops, and while you'll see bright flashes during treatment, pain is typically minimal. Some report mild discomfort or headache afterward.
This depends on your specific condition. Some patients need only one treatment, while others with advanced diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma may require multiple sessions.
Treatments are generally very safe. Potential side effects may include temporary vision changes, small blind spots, or reduced night vision. The benefits typically far outweigh the risks.
Most patients can return to desk work within 1-2 days. However, avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for about a week depending on the procedure and healing response.
Don't let diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, or retinal conditions threaten your vision. Early intervention with medical laser eye surgery can preserve your sight and prevent complications.
