Laser glaucoma treatment For you

SLT LASER Treatment for Glaucoma

SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) uses a cold laser to treat the portion of the eye that drains fluid back into the bloodstream. In glaucoma patients the flow of fluid out of the eye is below the amount needed for the eye to be at a safe pressure. Successful treatment will bring the pressure to a target set by the doctor.
SLT can be used to treat patients who are not in control with glaucoma medications alone. SLT can reduce and in most cases eliminate the need for drops. Laser surgery to control internal eye pressure (intraocular pressure) can be used instead of medications as a first line treatment for glaucoma. Dr Titone has been using SLT as an alternative to lifelong eyedrops successfully in his patients for many years.

Small incision powerful effect!

The XEN® Gel Stent is a small surgical implant designed to lower high eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma patients where previous surgical treatment has failed and/or medications alone were insufficient (also known as refractory glaucoma). The implant is placed through a small incision in the cornea with an inserter (a,b). The inserter is then removed(c) and the tube left in place allowing fluid to flow through it under the outer covering of the eye (d) to lower your pressure and control glaucoma.
