This course reviews selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), focusing on how it works and when to use it. Emphasis for this course is placed on direct SLT (dSLT) technique, performed without a coupling lens, highlighting efficiency, patient comfort, and streamlined clinic flow. Indications, patient selection, and expected outcomes are discussed alongside practical pearls for optimizing results
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
Review the mechanism of action and clinical role of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in glaucoma management.
Compare traditional SLT techniques with lens-free SLT in terms of efficiency, safety, and patient comfort.
Evaluate clinical outcomes and long-term considerations for using SLT or direct SLT (dSLT) as first-line or adjunctive glaucoma therapy.
