Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) procedure

Posted by evw100 @ew100, Jul 11, 2019

Saw my ophthalmologist this morning, Latanoprost eye drops only help reducing my eye pressure from 23 to 20. He would like my eye pressure to go down to 14. He can add another eye drop Timolol, which is a beta blocker or I can have SLT procedure.
If you had SLT done, would you please share your experiences and results? Thanks so much for helping!

Hi Lizziemnz
I've been fighting glaucoma for 30 years now. I just had SLT treatment within the last month for the second time. My pressures going in were 13 and after were 9 so I can recommend it. It did not hurt, but my eyes were a little blurry for a while.

Good to hear you had a positive outcome. My main concern is whethet the 180° Trabeculoplasty will be as effective as 360°.

Glad to hear that you have had success with SLT. My concern was whether or not the 180° trabeculoplasty will be as effective as the 360°. Wasn’t sure if anyone else experienced that
