Can laser eye surgery correct glaucoma?
Laser eye surgery such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) MAY help reduce eye pressure in glaucoma to help decrease the possibility of optic nerve damage from glaucoma, but it does not “correct” glaucoma. In those who have narrow angle with possibility of acute angle closure glaucoma, optic nerve damage, and vision loss, laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) reduces this risk. READ MORE
