Abstract

The object of the invention relates to a field of devices for performing treatments in ophthalmology, preferably to a field of devices for selective laser trabeculoplasty and capsulotomy. The essence of a laser therapeutic device for performing treatments in ophthalmology lies in that it is based on a laser source with a short resonator based on a end pumping technique, wherein the pumping is ascertained by a VCSEL light source (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser). Optimization of constructional and physical properties of a laser source is herewith achieved. The laser source meets all requirements for use in both above-mentioned treatments, wherein the device for capsulotomy is also suited for iridotomy and other surgeries, in which the effects of photodisruption are exploited.
