Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty – SLT is a technology that helps in reducing the intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma patients. With the aid of a customized contact lens, the laser helps in the drainage system inside the patient’s eye, where it stimulates a biochemical change that helps in improving the outflow of fluid.
The procedure is painless and takes about ten to fifteen minutes. During the laser procedure, the patient might see some flashes of light and hear some clicking sounds.
