SLT Laser Therapy for Glaucoma Management
Managing glaucoma often involves eye drops, but for many patients, the small bottles, the difficulty in applying them correctly, and the constant need to remember them can become a struggle.
Even with medications, eye pressure can remain high, leading to a need for a more effective solution. That’s where selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) comes in. SLT is a quick, noninvasive laser treatment that targets specific cells in the eye to naturally lower eye pressure.
Find out if SLT is the right solution for you! Schedule an eye exam with Dr. Powell today for a personalized consultation and evaluation to explore how SLT can help manage your glaucoma and improve your eye health.

What Is SLT Laser Therapy?
SLT is a highly effective, noninvasive laser treatment for glaucoma that can help lower eye pressure without relying on medication. This quick and simple in-office procedure uses a laser to target specific cells in the eye that contain melanin, a natural pigment.
By focusing on these cells, SLT stimulates your body’s natural healing response, improving fluid drainage and lowering intraocular pressure (IOP).
The Benefits of SLT Laser Therapy
SLT offers a safe, effective, and cost-friendly way to manage glaucoma. Here are some key benefits:
- Gentle & comfortable: A quick, painless in-office procedure with no systemic side effects and no need for anesthesia.
- Targeted & effective: Focuses on melanin-rich cells, leaving surrounding tissue untouched for precise results.
- Skip the drops: A non-pharmaceutical solution that can replace or reduce reliance on eye drops.
- Cost-effective: Often covered by Medicare and many insurance plans, saving you money compared to long-term drop costs.
