CITO 532™ SLT Laser

Fast, Gentle Glaucoma Therapy With the World’s Highest Repetition Rate


The CITO 532™ is a solid‑state, frequency‑doubled Nd:YAG laser that delivers the original 532 nm wavelength for selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). Designed and built in Germany, it couples directly to a slit lamp and uses μ‑Chip technology to keep output energy stable for a theoretically unlimited service life. Quick‑Repetition pulses, a large touchscreen, and coaxial optics make every treatment precise, fast, and comfortable for both patient and surgeon.

Key Features
  • Ultra‑Fast, Stable Energy Delivery: Quick‑Repetition mode fires pulses at > 10 Hz, cutting overall chair time. μ‑Chip control holds power deviation to < 2 %, ensuring consistent results from start to finish.
  • Patient Comfort & Safety: 532 nm wavelength is associated with less pain and stress than conventional flash‑lamp SLT systems. Clear‑View filter maintains natural colour fidelity while protecting the physician’s eyes.
  • Workflow‑Driven Design: Large, bright touchscreen keeps all parameters visible at a glance. Coaxial alignment of slit illumination, aiming beam, and treatment beam simplifies targeting of the trabecular meshwork.
  • Solid‑State Reliability: Diode‑pumped architecture eliminates flash lamps, high‑voltage capacitors, and heat loss to the housing. Engineered for a theoretically unlimited lifetime, with no harmful UV light in the cavity.
