Laser Procedures
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
This laser procedure stimulates the angle of the eye to help reduce intraocular pressure by removing debris from the outflow channel. Studies show that it is effective as a first line treatment for glaucoma.
YAG Capsulotomy
This laser procedure is commonly used after a patient develops a secondary cataract after cataract surgery. It uses laser energy to break the cloudiness up so the patient can see much more clear. This procedure typically takes only 2 to 3 minutes!
Laser Peripheral Iriditomy (LPI)
This laser procedure is used for patients with narrow angle glaucoma and acute angle closure glaucoma. A small hole is placed in the iris typically in the upper iris to help with outflow.
