SLT / TRABECULAS (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty)
 

Glaucoma laser treatment:

  • SLT (selective laser trabeculoplasty)

For open angle glaucoma the laser light is directed into the chamber angle to achieve lowering of the intraocular pressure inside the eye. In the chamber angel, the light is directed to the trabecular meshwork not to change the structure of the tissue, but to target the pigment cells. Selective destruction of the pigment cells reduces the resistance to the outflow path of the intraocular fluid passing through the meshwork and leaving the eye via Schlemm’s Canal.
The second effect is that the adverse effect on the tissue components leads to a biological initiation of ligands, which are released by meshwork endothelial cells. These ligands are capable of lowering the resistance in the barrier from the trabecular meshwork to the Canal of Schlemm. This leads to a reduction in intraocular pressure.

SLT is a non-thermal laser treatment, to significantly reduce the IOP without side effects or complications

SLT is the recommended therapy for glaucoma management - repeated laser treatments are possible

With the Trabeculas laser you can achieve about 20-25% pressure reduction.

Indications:

  • Open angle glaucoma
  • Intraocular pressure below 25 – 30 mmHg (depending on the target IOP)
  • First-line treatment
  • Repeat treatment
  • Non-compliance patients
  • Allergies on medication
  • Reduction of medication
  • Resignation of medication

Contra-Indications:

  • Closed angle glaucoma
  • Non responding patient to the first treatment
