FREQUENCY DOUBLED YAG (Green Laser): This equipment is from Nidek, Japan, with beam splitter, coobservation tube, camera to be established for CCD, Laser Binocular indirect Ophthalmoscope etc, first one of its kind in this region of Andhra Pradesh.

It is the most effective and safest laser with the property of maximum absorption by haemoglobin and melanin and least absorption by xanthophylls pigment of macula.

The ND-Yag crystal on excitation emits an infra red wave length of 1064mm. This infra red laser emission is passed through a KTP crystal which doubles the frequency and therefore halves the wave length and out comes monochromatic pure green 532mm laser emission.

Fundus Camera with Fluoresceine Angiography: This is a product of Topcon, Japan. This is the most important equipment in eye-care laser treatment. With the help of this equipment photographs of the interior parts of the eye, defects in the alignment of the blood vessels in the retina can be taken basing on which laser treatment is initiated.
