Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) in Sacramento, CA
The Next Generation of Gentle, Drop-Free Glaucoma Treatment
What is SLT?
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a proven, non-invasive laser treatment for glaucoma that reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by improving fluid drainage in the eye. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on daily eye drops or invasive surgeries, SLT provides a safe, effective alternative with minimal downtime and no incisions.
Why Patients Choose SLT:
-
Non-invasive & incision-free – No cutting, stitches, or operating room needed
-
Go Drop Free! – No more daily drops, fewer side effects, less hassle
-
Quick, in-office procedure – Most sessions take just minutes
-
Proven long-term effectiveness – Can help control IOP for years
-
Minimal recovery time – Return to normal activities quickly
SLT is especially beneficial for patients who are sensitive to glaucoma medications, have difficulty keeping up with drop routines, or are seeking a drop-free lifestyle.
Why Choose SLT Over Traditional Glaucoma Treatments
How SLT Works
4 Simple Steps to Eye Relief
Step 1: Precision Eye Mapping
Doctor Brad will use the device to create a map of the eye for precise treatment delivery.
Step 2: Targeted Laser Pulses
The laser delivers short pulses of low-energy light to pigmented cells in the trabecular meshwork. This stimulates cellular regeneration and enhances fluid drainage.
Step 3: Natural Pressure Reduction
The eye’s natural outflow system is restored, reducing IOP without medication.
Step 4: Immediate Return to Daily Life
No recovery time needed—patients can resume normal activities right away.
Am I eligible for SLT?
SLT is ideal for patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma, including open-angle glaucoma. It’s also an excellent first-line treatment for those newly diagnosed or looking for an alternative to daily eye drops.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. SLT is a gentle and virtually painless procedure. There’s no cutting, no injections, and no significant discomfort during the treatment. Most patients describe it as quick and easy, with little to no sensation at all.
How long does the procedure take?
The entire SLT procedure takes just a few minutes per eye. It’s a quick, in-office treatment that’s typically completed in under 5 minutes, allowing you to return to your day with minimal interruption.
Will I still need eye drops?
Many patients are able to reduce—or even eliminate—their need for daily glaucoma eye drops after treatment. Your doctor will work with you to determine your ongoing care plan.
