The SOLX 790 Laser is a flash lamp-excited, solid-state laser that emits near-infrared light (790 nm) in pulses lasting five to 10 microseconds.

The SOLX 790 has been shown to provide deeper tissue penetration, about 200 ?m, deeper, than the other lasers currently used in trabeculoplasty without causing damage to the trabecular meshwork.
Studies have indicated that treatment using the SOLX® 790 can produce a significant opening of the trabecular meshwork which allows increased aqueous outflow and can produce a statistically significant reduction in IOP with minimal complications. The treatment is repeatable and may be performed at a slit lamp.
