Understanding Glaucoma
Our Approach to Glaucoma Management
We employ a comprehensive strategy to manage glaucoma, beginning with thorough diagnostic evaluations to tailor treatment plans that address the unique progression of the disease in each patient. Our goal is to offer care that not only stabilizes the condition but also aligns with your lifestyle and vision goals.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
A Gentle Option for Glaucoma
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a form of laser surgery that we offer as a primary or adjunctive treatment for glaucoma. Here’s what you need to know about this advanced treatment:
- Precision and Safety: SLT targets specific cells in the drainage tissue of the eye, improving fluid outflow and reducing intraocular pressure without causing thermal damage to adjacent tissue.
- Minimally Invasive: This gentle, outpatient procedure can be performed in just a few minutes and is an excellent alternative to daily eye drop usage for many patients.
Personalized Glaucoma Treatment Plans
In addition to SLT, we offer a full spectrum of glaucoma treatments including:
- Medications: Prescription eye drops and oral medications can effectively manage intraocular pressure.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: This procedure includes inserting a stent into the eye to enhance its natural fluid drainage, leading to a reduction in intraocular pressure.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Regular check-ups help us monitor your eye health and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
