What Is Laser Glaucoma Treatment?
Laser glaucoma procedures use focused laser energy to improve the eye’s fluid drainage or reduce fluid production, helping lower intraocular pressure. They are typically quick, outpatient treatments performed under topical anesthesia.
Laser therapy can be used as a primary treatment or in combination with medications. It provides effective pressure control for many patients while avoiding the need for incisional surgery. These procedures focus on improving aqueous fluid outflow and achieving safer eye pressure control.
Laser procedures are suitable for specific glaucoma types and patient profiles.
- Inadequate response to medications
- Difficulty using eye drops regularly
- Early or moderate glaucoma
- Elevated eye pressure
Laser procedures for glaucoma offer a minimally invasive option to reduce eye pressure and slow disease progression. These treatments are often used when medications are insufficient or as an early intervention in selected cases.
