Laser Trabeculoplasty for Glaucoma: ALT vs SLT, Animation.

[@antohosm43]

Nice simple explanation/graphics - I had SLT yesterday and it's nothing to be scared about. Just relax since there's no pain. Don't drive for 8 hours until clear vision returns!

[@bonniehughes7863]

So the ppl who had this done, how do you see now? Is your vision clear? Im scheduled in March. My glaucoma is really bad. Already totally blind in my left eye becuz of it.

drove right away, rinsed eye out to get the drops out, some stinging but not bad,.

@@bonniehughes7863 How did it go? Did you get your vision back?

[@mrgkstube]

@@bonniehughes7863 sorrry to inform you that the vision loss due to glaucoma can't be recovered. we can prevent further vision loss from glaucoma an the above mentioned method does.

How much time doctor took to do SLT for one eye? For me he took only 1 minute today. I wanted to know usually how much time a doctor take to do for one eye.

I’ve have at times been able to focus on a floater. To see the cell sharp and clear.

I had this done recently for eye pressure. The procedure is painless and lasts only 2-3 minutes. However, I developed light sensitivity as a side effect, for which they gave me eye drops to help heal.

If it last for several years does that mean it has to be redone at that point in time and can it be redone? Can you drive afterwards?

Hello ladies and gentlemen from India. I am an aspiring ophthalmologist and wanted to enquire about the upsides and downsides of taking ophthalmology as a specialty. Thank you for your time and patience.

[@adelalsilimi2010]

I just been diagnosed with Glaucoma on my right eye , 66 years old. Does my medical, and Humana pay for this Lazer surgery? Scary .

[@fredericomarques4230]

what is the parameter used?

[@jasmynsglaucomajasmynpolit7033]

I have glaucoma in both of my eyes and that's why I have to take for eye drops everyday. It's ironic because I saw this in my anatomy of the eye class A couple days ago.

[@mrgkstube]

go for trabeculectomy as soon as possible..

[@heyyo1636]

@@mrgkstube Can this help restore some of my site in my left eye?

[@mrgkstube]

@@heyyo1636 It's a surgery to prevent further damage or loss of eye sight, loss of eye sight because of galucoma isn't restorable,, theorically saying.

[@heyyo1636]

@@mrgkstube Thank You. My left eye is very cloudy and not much vision left

[@Samiam173]

Have you considered the laser surgery? I've been on am/pm drops about 4 years now. I'm kinda done with these drops. Let me know, thanks.

[@lannbak3618]

Doesn't the laser burn the cornea going through the cornea to reach the iris. Please advise me on this, thanks

[@Alilamedicalmedia]

lann bak Laser beams can be adjusted finely to affect certain tissue and not others. The type of laser used for this tissue would have minimal effect on the cornea.

[@salsahot]

No, the cornea is transparent to the laser, so no energy gets absorbed

[@mrgkstube]

@@salsahot Can't we damage the cornea using a laser beam? (doubt)

[@arcann7]

I believe because the laser is not in focus on the cornea it doesn’t cause damage to it. Similar to yag laser capsulotomy in patients with PCO..

[@hajral-wadei9962]

I like it really very nice thank you

[@brugueiramed1845]

Actually Havana, Cuba is the nearest place where affordable glaucoma surgery can be done with absolutely no difference in quality. I mean affordable for self-pays.
