Want To Be Free Of Your Glaucoma Drops?
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) represents a recent advancement in laser treatment of open-angle glaucoma. New research demonstrates that SLT has the ability to lower eye pressure for months to years without the use of medicines and without the destruction of tissue.
This therapy uses a unique laser system to target only specific cells within the eye- those containing melanin, a natural pigment.
This allows for only these cells to be affected, leaving surrounding tissue intact. As a result, your body's own healing response helps
to improve the flow of fluid within the eye, which in turn lowers the eye's pressure.
Benefits of SLT
Safe! SLT therapy is brief, painless, and it is performed in the doctor's office. It is not associated with the eye irritation and systemic side effects of medications.
Selective! SLT utilizes selective photo-thermolysis to target only specific cells, leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
Smart! SLT stimulates the body's natural mechanisms to enhance outflow of the fluid in your eye.
Sensible! SLT therapy is reimbursed by most health insurance providers and Medicare, which minimizes your out-of-pocket expenses.
If you're tired of the hassle of glaucoma medicines, SLT may be just the solution you've been waiting for!
