ASTRAL®

SLT laser with built-in OCT: see the trabecular meshwork, then treat lens-free in under three seconds.

ASTRAL is a selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) platform with an integrated OCT visualization system. It shows 120 radial OCT views of the iridocorneal angle so the clinician can target the trabecular meshwork accurately, then treats transsclerally with no contact lens and no gel.

< 3 streatment time
120radial OCT views of the angle

Key features

01
OCT-guided targeting
120 cross-sectional radial OCT views of the anterior chamber. ASTRAL Intelligence shows the matching OCT for each potential treatment location.
02
Lens-free and gel-free
Gentle non-contact transscleral delivery. No sustained blurred vision, so patients return to daily activities within minutes.
03
About 15 seconds per patient
Locate and focus ~7 s, acquire OCT ~5 s, treat in under 3 s, with outcomes comparable to traditional SLT.
04
More patients, lower cost
A streamlined setup and workflow means more glaucoma patients treated per hour, at a lower cost per treatment.
05
SLT is first-line
Recommended as a first-line glaucoma treatment by AAO, EGS, APGS and WGA after the LiGHT trial.
06
Comfortable for both sides
15.6″ HD touchscreen on a 270° articulated arm lets the clinician sit beside the patient. A forward-angled headrest improves fixation.
