Watch: How SP-Mode® Works

Proprietary Technology

The SP-Mode® Difference

SP-Mode® Microsecond Laser Technology delivers therapeutic energy below the thermal damage threshold, stimulating cellular repair without burning retinal tissue. A paradigm shift in how laser energy interacts with living tissue.

The result: physicians can treat conditions like diabetic macular edema with fewer injections, reduced scarring, and repeatable sessions. Outcomes that were previously impossible with conventional lasers.

“Our clinics have used LIGHTMED lasers for a couple years now and we are very pleased. They perform at least as well; if not better than, what we used before and the service is outstanding. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the lasers are a better value financially and the warranty with service costs are more practice friendly as well.”

Dr. Brian A. Francis

Doheny Eye Institute, Los Angeles, California

“LIGHTMED provided a YAG/SLT laser for me to evaluate. It did not take me long to realize that I wanted to purchase the system. The optics are terrific, the laser energy is precise and everything about the console feels like a quality product. No other laser company will provide a repair/exchange in 2 business days guaranteed!”

“The advantage to having the LIGHTLas 532 with SP-Mode® combined with the SLT Deux-V is that you can do so much more with it. The optics are so superior on the LIGHTMED machine. With the gonio lens everything is clear especially when finding the trabecular meshwork.”

“There are more than thirty five LIGHTMED LIGHTLas 810 Lasers with the Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope that are running as the gold standard of treatment for our National ROP Program in Mexico.”

“I currently use the LIGHTLas SLT Deux-V and LIGHTLas 810 in my glaucoma centers. SLT is well established as the first-line therapy for early to moderate disease. My experience with the LIGHTLas 810 has been very positive. The system is stable, reliable, and provides excellent control over laser delivery.”

“The LIGHTLas YAG-V Laser has been a great advancement. Its unmatched precision allows me to safely and effectively target the areas I need without impacting surrounding eye structures. I’ve seen firsthand how this non-invasive, in-office treatment can dramatically improve patients’ quality of life by restoring their visual clarity.”

“The LIGHTMED TruScan Pro platform offers convenience, ease of use, and accuracy. All treatments can be performed in any slit lamp position with a clean aiming beam and clear visualization. I have used several pattern scanning lasers in the past 20 years and this LIGHTMED laser is my favorite.”

Dr. Miguel Rechichi

“I use it every day for telangiectasia, rosacea, and for angiomas. We also use it routinely whenever there’s any kind of neovascularization or erythema around an incision site requiring scar revision. I use DermaLight post-surgery to treat redness around incision sites as the wound is healing.”

Dr. Aaron Shapiro

Aaron Shapiro, MD

Dr. Aaron Shapiro Facial Surgery Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“We have a large practice in Atlanta that encompasses all ophthalmic sub-specialties. All of our doctors are very pleased with the laser. It is quite convenient to have one console that meets the needs of all of our anterior and posterior doctors. The repair guarantee in 2-business days is amazing in an industry that typically disappoints us.”

Dr. Lawrence Woodard

Lawrence Woodard, MD

Omni Eye Services, Atlanta, Georgia

“I have used several SLT and YAG lasers in the past 20 years. We have a few other competitor platforms in our other locations, and this LIGHTMED laser is the most desirable one to use. Both SLT and YAG can be performed in any slit lamp positions with ease.”

Dr. Dan Tran

“I have been really happy with the LIGHTMED TruScan Laser, and I have been utilizing the Yellow 577nm wavelength to treat my patients with macular edema. The yellow wavelength has proven to be both safe and effective with excellent patient outcomes. After a single laser treatment session, patients have shown significant decrease in central macular thickness with vision improvement.”

Dr. Tarek Alasil

“LIGHTMED is a great company and they offer great service. Also the products are relatively low cost. They have very responsive and reliable distributors. The patients are very satisfied and refer us to their family and friends for the SLT treatment with LIGHTLas SLT and SPLT treatment with TruScan 577 and SP-Mode® Microsecond Laser Technology.”

Dr. José Francisco Ortega Santana

“LIGHTMED allowed me to use their laser which offers YAG and SLT. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the product, especially that all of the technology is built into a compact, single-station platform. The laser functioned perfectly in every situation.”

“The LIGHTMED LIGHTLas YAG/SLT Deux-V is an exceptional system. It has excellent optics, which allows me to get a great assessment of my patients. The technology has great targeting ability with the wide-angle viewing illumination. There is always someone available to make sure that we have a system up and running in our practice.”

“I highly recommend the SAPPHIRE Er:YAG Laser system for its excellent clinical usability and versatility. The device features a well-designed and intuitive user interface, allowing me to operate it efficiently and confidently with minimal learning curve. The system provides a wide range of treatment tips, giving practitioners the flexibility to adapt to various clinical procedures. From the patient’s perspective, the SAPPHIRE Laser significantly reduces intraoperative pain and bleeding, contributing to improved comfort during treatment and promoting better postoperative healing.”

“We’ve been using the LIGHTMED YAG/SLT Deux for a couple of years. It was the best laser that we found for YAG and SLT treatments. The laser is very easy to use, compact, and the optics are excellent. Patients really like it, and the technology works really well.”

Dr. Jason Ahee

Jason Ahee, MD

Zion Eye Institute, St. George, Utah

“Incredible how slick the new laser is. Capsulotomies are so smooth, precise, and effective at lower energy levels than we were able to use before and the peripheral iridotomies are like a hot knife through butter, even on very dark thick brown irises. SLTs are a breeze.”

Dr. Daniel C. Kline

Daniel C. Kline, MD

OC Eye Associates, Irvine, California

“The LIGHTLas YAG/SLT Deux has an intuitive and ergonomic design. The controls and displays are all conveniently located to facilitate the flow of my multiple YAG and SLT cases throughout the day. The wide angle viewing technology gives me a clear view of what I am treating.”

Dr. Daniel Ahn

“The TruScan laser provides the best optics I have used for a focal laser. The various patterns available speed up PRPs immensely and are very comfortable for patients. Visualization of the periphery is also excellent. The touch screen display is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. Overall, it is a great machine.”

“The LIGHTLas 532 green laser photocoagulator is a safe and user-friendly device for treating various retinal diseases. The best feature is LIGHTMED’s SP-Mode® Microsecond Laser Technology that provides sub-threshold microsecond pulse treatment. SP-Mode® is tissue-friendly and empowers physicians to safely treat their patients without causing burns to retinal tissue.”

“DermaLight allows me to treat cosmetic concerns quickly, easily, safely, and inexpensively, making it the perfect laser for my practice. We enjoy an excellent ROI with our DermaLight Laser. If my patients have telangiectasia vessels on the nose or rosacea, as a dermatologist, I feel I should be able to do something about that without sending them to a cosmetic practice.”
