For averting the myopia

( Shortsightedness )

Laser instruments for the treatment and prevention of eye diseases are
developed by Moscow firm " MACDEL" in collaboration with N.E. Bauman
Moscow State Technical University (MSTU), Helmholtz Scientific
Research Institute of eye diseases , Moscow and several other medical
and engineering research centers in Russia . The use of these devices
allows you to treat and prevent short-sightedness and also a number of
other ophthalmological diseases .

Problems with the sight arose in humans long ago and increased
together with growth in the civilization . Myopia , for example , suffers
today about 40% of population of the developed countries, which is
connected, first of all , with the degree of information and technology
of society .
Nature did not supplied humans with the gift to adaptation to the
visual stress : according to its concept , humans should not have a long
time look intently at particular point . It is not surprising that in
previous times “ persons wearing spectacles ” predominated among
children with heavy reading loads , and now – among those who stays
for hours at computer .
During the visual stress in humans , there appears the "
accommodation spasm " of the circular ciliary muscle , which controls the
work of crystalline - it changes the curvature of the front surface of
crystalline lens . ( Accommodation is a subtle neuromuscular
mechanism whereby the holy of holies of the eye - the crystalline
lens - if necessary changes its shape , becoming some times more
or sometimes less convex . this makes possible the distinct seeing
of objects located at different distances . )
With the termination of visual stress , this spasm is removed, but not
completely , and that becomes the reason for the appearance of myopia ,
subsequently progressive .
In ophthalmology , of course, there already exist and sufficiently widely
used are the methods of combating the myopia - both medicine with the
simultaneous application of special exercises and surgery . But firstly ,
these are time-consuming , and it is difficult to apply them on
children . Moreover, whereas secondly , they do not exclude the different
kind of complications .

With the aid of the instruments proposed by firm " MACDEL" the myopia
is treated noncontact , painlessly, also, without the active participation of
patient. One of these instruments - " MACDEL 00.00.09 " directs laser
beams to the ciliary muscles of eyes, removing thus the accommodation
spasm , because of which appears the myopia . The weak laser emission
of another instrument - " MACDEL 00.00.08 " acts directly on retina ,
improves nutrition ( blood supply ) of retinal tissue and relaxes optic
nerve . Both procedures occupy a total of several minutes , and the
necessary treatment cycle consists of 10 such procedures. It is
necessary to repeat the treatment cycle once in several months period ,
then this need is gradually eliminated .
This therapy is effective not only in the myopia , but also with the
squint , the astigmatism and several other eye diseases .
The laser ophtalmological equipments of firm " MACDEL" are tested in
many clinics of Russia and recommended for widespread use . Today
these equipments works not only in Russia , but also in Argentina and
undergoes tests in Israel .

Apparatus MACDEL 00.00.09 - is a laser instrument for the correction of the

accommodation- refraction
disturbances of sight

Field of application
• Treatment and the preventive maintenance of short sightedness without the operations.

• Treatment and the preventive maintenance of amblyopia, nystagmus, squint, visual

tiredness, rehabilitation and the preventive maintenance of complications after surgery
for the correction of short-sightedness (laser keratotomy).
• The effectiveness of the preventive maintenance of children's short sightedness according
to the procedure of Helmholtz research institute of eye diseases , Moscow exceeds
90% , which solves the problem of short-sightedness by preventive means.

Treatment consists in the fulfillment of 10-12 procedures on 3-5 minutes. The results of therapy
remain for a period of 4-6 months. With reduction in the indices of accommodation , it is
necessary to carry out repeated course. The process of an improvement in the objective indices of
sight is extended by 30, 40 days after conducting of procedures .

Apparatus MACDEL – 00.00.08

The Helium-Neon weak ( low radiation ) laser radiation penetrates through transparent
media of the eye and hits the retina.
Field of application
Amblyopia , progressive myopia, eye fatigue, dry forms of retina dystrophy, keratorefraction
operation complications, optimization of the early postoperative course, posttraumatic
rehabilitation, cornea metabolic diseases, lachrymal gland dysfunction, etc.
The treatment consists of 10 - 12 procedures, each 5-10 minutes long. Therapy results are
preserved during 4 - 6 months.
An optical socket located in front of the screen allows the device application to treatment of
lachrymal gland dysfunction and supporting reflex therapy. Higher average power (7 – 8 mW) of
the device versus the analogues provides the adequate dose for the patient during reasonable
time.
