[The first experience in clinically using a PASCAL laser photocoagulator (OptiMedica, USA)].

A new PASCAL laser photocoagulator (OptiMedica, USA) was clinically tested. A total of 38 laser interventions were performed in 38 eyes with diabetic retinopathy (n = 25), peripheral retinal dystrophy (n = 2), retinal ruptures (n = 2), hemophthalmos (n = 3), primary open-angle glaucoma (n = 5), and ectopic pupil (n = 1). An example of successful use of the new laser unit for pupilloplasty for the ectopic pupil is given.
