Glaucoma Laser Treatment (SLT)

We offer an exciting new laser treatment for patients with glaucoma. Selective laser trabeculoplasty is a safe, effective way to reduce or eliminate a patient’s dependency on eye drops! The procedure, which is covered by most health insurance plans, is quick, typically painless, and performed right in our office.

Many of our glaucoma patients are treated with drops to lower the pressure in their eyes. While the drops are, for the most part, effective, there are some distinct disadvantages to these medications: the drops must be used regularly, they’re inconvenient, and they are often expensive. The SLT may eliminate or reduce the need for eye drops.

If you have glaucoma or are a glaucoma suspect and want to know if the new SLT laser treatment is appropriate for you, call today to schedule an appointment with the doctor. Dr. Slusher is committed to providing his patients with the very best and most sophisticated care available.
