Two types of laser procedures called Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT) and Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
are used for patients with
Open-angle Glaucoma.
These laser surgeries are used to treat the drainage system of the eye known as the trabecula meshwork. Treating this
area of the eye's natural drainage system is designed to improve the flow of fluid out of the eye helping to lower the pressure.
