ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ViaLase, Inc., a clinical stage medical technology company focused on fueling the practice of incision-free interventional glaucoma, today announced that it will present clinical data as well as provide business and technology overviews during the 42^nd Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS 2024) to be held September 6-10, 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. ViaLase will be exhibiting onsite at distribution partner booth Teleon (booth #D08).

Presentations at ESCRS 2024 will provide insights into the company's ViaLase^® Laser* and 3-year outcomes of the first-in-human study of femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy (FLigHT) treatment in patients with glaucoma. ViaLase recently announced that it had received CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark approval in the European Union (EU) for its ViaLase Laser for the treatment of adult patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The ViaLase Laser is the first and only femtosecond laser approved for glaucoma, and will soon become available to physicians and patients in Europe.

In addition to presentations at ESCRS, ViaLase will participate in a panel discussion as part of the Ophthalmology Futures European Forum, which takes place on September 5^th in Barcelona.

"On the heels of receiving CE Mark approval, we are thrilled to not only share 3-year clinical data demonstrating the ViaLase Laser's safety and efficacy, but to meet with physicians onsite at ESCRS to discuss and showcase this groundbreaking technology," said Tibor Juhasz, PhD, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, ViaLase, Inc. "The ViaLase Laser represents a monumental transformation in interventional glaucoma care in its potential to deliver surgery-like results without the need for surgically opening the eye. This addresses a major unmet need for patients who may benefit from a non-pharmacologic, incision-free procedure without compromising their therapeutic goals."
