Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty at North Downs Hospital

What is Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty?

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) uses laser technology to treat open-angle glaucoma and cular hypertension.

The laser uses mild heat to target specific cells in the drainage channels around your iris, improving the flow of fluid from your eye.

Glaucoma is a common problem, causing damage to the optic nerve where it leaves you eye. It usually affects people over the age of 40. SLT can be performed to reduce that pressure in your eye to slow down further damage.
