- 01Convenient for Kalina patients — closest clinic is on Kalina Market, with easy reach from Nilesh Dry Fruits, CST Road, Mumbai University Kalina Campus.
What Is Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT / ALT)?
SLT uses a low-energy laser directed at the trabecular meshwork (the eye's natural drainage tissue). It triggers a biological response that improves fluid outflow without damaging surrounding tissue. Unlike the older ALT (Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty), SLT can be repeated if the effect diminishes over time.
Who Is It For?
This procedure is generally suited to patients meeting the following criteria:
- Early to moderate open-angle glaucoma
- Patients struggling with eye drop compliance or side effects
- As a first-line treatment alongside or instead of drops (supported by the LiGHT trial)
- Those wishing to reduce medication burden
What Happens During the Procedure?
Each step is performed with precision and patient comfort in mind.
- Step 1: Anaesthetic drops applied
- Step 2: A special contact lens placed on the eye
- Step 3: Laser applied to 180° or 360° of the drainage angle in a single session
- Step 4: Procedure takes 5–10 minutes; patient goes home immediately after
Recovery & What to Expect
Minimal — mild redness or blurred vision for a few hours. The pressure-lowering effect develops over 4–6 weeks. A follow-up is scheduled at 6 weeks to assess the response.
Benefits
Patients choosing this procedure typically experience the following benefits:
- No incision, no recovery period, no anaesthesia required beyond drops
- Can reduce or eliminate the need for daily drops
- Can be repeated if the effect wears off after a few years
- Covered by many insurance plans
