The segments of the degree I persistent deep pigmentation are exposed to energy causing bubbling only; and the segments of the degree II-III pigmentation are treated with energy causing bubbling alongside with the effect of the granular pigment knockout and shaking from the trabecular membrane cells, and also of defragmentation of the coarse granular pigment; at least 30 minutes before the laser exposure, 0.1% diclofenac is instilled as an anti-inflammatory preparation.
