Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) procedure

As mentioned above, I have had SLT twice, 5 years apart. I am lucky enough not to need drops at this stage, I visit my ophthalmologist regularly two or three times a year when he does various scans and tests. He has never at any stage suggested having SLT as a maintenance procedure.

From what I understand thee more SLT procedures you have the less effective they become according to all of the experts. So why not wait until really needed to use that Silver Bullet ? I could live with a five year separation. I would be very happy to visit my Dr. only twice a year. Again it seems they wish to see you at the "Medicare" intervals when they will pay for them. Would be nice to eliminate all of some of the drops at this point. I wish yout he best and continued success and thanks for the reply. Veey much appreciated.
