SLT Laser FAQs for Patients

SLT or Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is a quick, simple, bloodless, laser procedure with a high degree of success for lowering high intraocular pressure in the eye, which can be a sign or symptom of glaucoma. The procedure is an outpatient surgery, and patients can return to regular activities the same day.
