A Light-Based Solution for Eye Pressure
What is SLT? Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment used to lower eye pressure. Instead of cutting tissue, it uses low-energy light to stimulate the body’s natural healing response, cleaning out the "drain" of the eye so fluid can flow freely.
What to Expect
- In-Office Procedure: This is performed right in our clinic, not an operating room.
- Painless: You may see flashes of light, but there is generally no pain. The entire process takes only a few minutes.
Benefits & Recovery
- Repeatable: Unlike some surgeries, SLT can often be repeated if needed.
- Medication Free: It is an excellent option for patients who have difficulty taking drops or experience side effects from them.
- Zero Downtime: You can drive yourself home and return to normal activities immediately.
