Glaucoma is a complicated eye disease that requires a multimodal approach to control eye pressure. Laser therapies like SLT and LPI are critical methods to achieve lower eye pressure and protect the eye.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a non-invasive laser procedure performed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and manage glaucoma. The laser targets the drainage channels in the eye, promoting better fluid outflow and reducing IOP. SLT is safe with minimal side effects and is repeatable. This procedure can be performed on its own or can also be used in conjunction with eyedrops and other medications. Our eye doctors offer SLT as a quick in-office procedure.
Laser Peripheral Iridotomy
Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) is a laser treatment used to control eye pressure in patients with narrow-angle or closed-angle glaucoma. It creates a small opening in the iris, allowing for better fluid flow and reducing the risk of IOP spikes. LPI is a safe and effective procedure with rapid recovery. Our eye doctors can perform this in-office therapy in just a few minutes.
