Laser Trabeculoplasty

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a in-office laser procedure in which the drainage system of the eye, the trabecular meshwork, is treated with a diffuse application of light energy. The holes in the meshwork are made larger so that more intraocular fluid can flow out, thereby reducing your eye pressure.

Procedure

Your laser appointment will take about 1.5 hours, though the actual laser takes 2 minutes. We will answer your questions, prepare and numb your eye, perform your laser, and observe and examine your eyes afterward. The treatment is painless for most, or mildly achy. You may want to bring a driver with you. You may be slightly blurry or achy for a day after, but you can get right back to your daily routine without restrictions.
