ELIOS - What does the data tell us?
16/12/2025 | 21 mins.
In this episode of the Interventional Glaucoma Podcast, Prof. Gus Gazzard is joined by Prof. Cédric Schweitzer and Dr. Marc Töteberg-Harms to explore what the data tell us about interventional glaucoma. They discuss the robustness of Elios peer-reviewed evidence on efficacy, safety, and long-term outcomes, the crucial role of high-quality data in guiding everyday clinical decisions, and the continued commitment to ongoing research and future data collection in glaucoma care.  The ELIOS system (Bausch & Lomb) is manufactured by MLase GmbH, located at 82110 Germering, Industriestr. 17, Germany and by WEINERT Fiber Optics GmbH, Mittlere-Motsch-Strasse 26, 96515 Sonneberg, Germany. ELIOS is CE marked for use in adult patients with glaucoma and is currently under investigational use in the US as part of an ongoing IDE study (FDA). The ExTra II (laser class 4) has the brand name ELIOS. The ExTra II is equivalent to ExTra and AIDA devices. Find out more about ELIOS : http://bit.ly/4lWBJZ1

Health Economics in Interventional Glaucoma

In this episode of the Interventional Glaucoma Podcast, Prof. Gus Gazzard speaks with Dr. Marc Töteberg-Harms and Dr. Timothy Hamann about the health economics of interventional glaucoma. They discuss how MIGS can deliver long-term savings and quality-of-life benefits despite higher upfront costs, highlight evidence supporting its cost-effectiveness, and emphasize the growing ethical responsibility for clinicians to discuss MIGS options with eligible cataract patients.  The ELIOS system (Bausch & Lomb) is manufactured by MLase GmbH, located at 82110 Germering, Industriestr. 17, Germany and by WEINERT Fiber Optics GmbH, Mittlere-Motsch-Strasse 26, 96515 Sonneberg, Germany. ELIOS is CE marked for use in adult patients with glaucoma and is currently under investigational use in the US as part of an ongoing IDE study (FDA).

Excimer fundamentals
19/11/2025 | 25 mins.
In this episode of the Interventional Glaucoma podcast, Prof. Gus Gazzard speaks with Dr. Neeru Vallabh and Mr. Dirk MĂ¼hlhoff about how excimer laser technology is transforming glaucoma treatment. They discuss Excimer Laser Trabeculostomy (ELT), which uses ultraviolet light to create precise, non-thermal microchannels in the trabecular meshwork, improving natural fluid outflow. The conversation highlights how this laser, long used in refractive surgery, is now offering a safe, minimally invasive option for glaucoma patients.  The ELIOS system (Bausch & Lomb) is manufactured by MLase GmbH, located at 82110 Germering, Industriestr. 17, Germany and by WEINERT Fiber Optics GmbH, Mittlere-Motsch-Strasse 26, 96515 Sonneberg, Germany. ELIOS is CE marked for use in adult patients with glaucoma and is currently under investigational use in the US as part of an ongoing IDE study (FDA).

Integrating Glaucoma into your standard Phaco routine
17/7/2025 | 23 mins.
In this episode of the Interventional Glaucoma Podcast, Prof. Verena Prokosch and Ms. Nishani Amerasinghe discuss the integration of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) into routine cataract surgery. They focus on how laser-based trabecular procedures can be efficiently combined with phacoemulsification to improve outcomes for glaucoma patients.  The ELIOS system (Bausch & Lomb) is manufactured by MLase GmbH, located at 82110 Germering, Industriestr. 17, Germany and by WEINERT Fiber Optics GmbH, Mittlere-Motsch-Strasse 26, 96515 Sonneberg, Germany. ELIOS is CE marked for use in adult patients with glaucoma and is currently under investigational use in the US as part of an ongoing IDE study (FDA).
