Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a non-invasive eye procedure used to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. It employs a precise laser to target the eye’s drainage system, specifically the trabecular meshwork, to improve fluid outflow. This helps reduce pressure inside the eye, which can prevent or slow damage to the optic nerve. SLT is generally safe, quick, and can be an effective alternative to medications or surgery. It often requires minimal recovery time and can be repeated if needed, providing a valuable treatment option for managing glaucoma.
