Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is an in-office laser treatment designed to lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This guide explains how SLT works, what to expect during the procedure, how Dr. Benjamin’s 180° treatment strategy is used, and why SLT may reduce or delay the need for daily glaucoma eye drops.
Dr. Benjamin has prescribed Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) — a modern, safe method of reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The landmark LiGHT trial showed that SLT is as effective as eye drops — and may offer superior long-term results.
