Adjusting the Fit Fitting the headpiece Adjusting the head size Turn the knob on the strap at the back of the headpiece counter-clockwise to enlarge the circumference of the strap enough to easily fit over your head. Place the TruFocus LIO+ on your head. Turn the knob clockwise until the TruFocus LIO+ fits securely.
Adjusting the eyepieces Slide each eye piece to the correct position by pushing the finger tabs under each eyepiece (interpupillary distance adjustment). Place a viewing target 36 cm (14 inches) away for the TruFocus LIO+. Close one eye. Adjust the separation until you see the entire target. Do the same with the other eye.
Adjusting the Illumination Light and Aiming Beam Using the TruFocus LIO+ as a therapeutic device Adjusting the illumination light and aiming beam ensures that the treatment beam will be in the field of view when the TruFocus LIO+ is used for therapeutic laser treatment. Adjusting the white illumination beam intensity Use the illumination brightness control on the console to adjust...
Positioning the white illumination beam Use the vertical adjustment control to center the white light within the field Made in of view. If the illumination beam appears to be displaced to one side, move both interpupillary distance adjustment finger tabs in the same direction until the light is centered.
Using the Special Function Controls Selecting the illumination filter Use the illumination filter controls to select red-free, cobalt or white light illumination. White light is most frequently used during laser treatment. Made in Selecting the illumination aperture size Use the illumination aperture control to select a small, medium, or large illumination aperture.

Qualified physicians should review the available literature presented in clinical papers before using the TruFocus LIO+ delivery device. A Reference Catalog of clinical papers and presentations is available through IRIDEX Marketing. Panretinal photocoagulation (outpatient) • Slit lamp delivery is typically used to treat the posterior 80% of the retina with the use of mirrored contact lenses.
Panretinal photocoagulation (operating room) The TruFocus LIO+: • Is particularly useful for diabetic patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy . • Allows for better treatment of the superior quadrant than does the endolaser. • Allows better visibility through phakic gas-filled eyes since there are fewer reflections than present with biconcave lenses.
Treating patients with a localized vitreous hemorrhage The prismatic effect of the lens and use of scleral depression may assist in moving vitreous hemorrhage out of the way or pushing untreated retina into the view of the laser beam. The 810 nm (infrared) wavelength penetrates vitreous hemorrhage better than the 514-532 nm (green) wavelengths.
Using the scleral depressor The use of the scleral depressor is extremely helpful when treating with the TruFocus LIO+: • The scleral depressor helps stabilize the eye, acting as a ‘splint’ to inhibit voluntary and involuntary eye movement. • The depressor helps to manipulate the eye in various fixations and helps to flatten residual subretinal fluid.
Power density and spot size NOTE The relationship between Tissue response to laser light is primarily determined by power density . spot size and resultant Power density (Watts/cm ) is laser power (Watts) divided by the area (cm power density is not linear. of the illuminated spot;...
Other factors that can affect spot size include: • The refractive index of media in the eye, as shown. Medium Spot Size Smaller Fluid Standard Silicone Larger • Working distance. The smallest spot is obtained when the laser spot is at its focus point on the image plane.
