I've had the SLT laser on one eye...it was so fast and easy ! I will still need to use eye drops for the rest of my life but my vision loss has stabilized . I'm 70 and severe glaucoma runs in my family. My ophthalmologist will also put in stents when I have cataract surgery in the near future.
As a 41 year old with lots of drop side effects in last 11 years I’m having SLT on Monday. Thank you doctor. Appreciate the time it took to make this video.
Hello there my is Kiran from London 🇬🇧 I also got glaucoma If I knew this If that I could have surgery I wouldn't have had this long time ago and saved my job Now my job is gone I'm stuck at home cannot do anything gonna travel the world by 🚗 but that come to a stop can help my partner
How’s your pressure now
@@pripri3404 it is borderline high with drops. Was back to very high right after SLT was done. I am refusing to repeat the procedure for the past year and a half. I have been on drops for almost a year again I believe.
@@pripri3404 it appears to have deleted my comment back to you. My pressures are still borderline high with drops. SLT did not help me at all. I’m refusing to repeat it
It was a very informative video. 💯
Excellent video and very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very imformative and well explained👍❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you doctor excellent information
My pleasure
I’ve been on Lumigan or latanoprost drops for a couple of years and they irritate my eyes - since I’ve started I’ve gotten rosacea, and have chalazions and dry eyes more frequently. My new opthalmologist suggested I try SLT, and I just had my left eye done today. It was not 100% painless but the pain and discomfort was very minor. I go back in a month to do the other eye. I hope it works for me!
Thank you Dr❤👍🍀👏
You are very welcome
Great video, thank you. Do I need SLT if my eyes pressure is between 12-15 after using timolol and latanoprost for over a year?
12 & 15m, thats excellent readings.
Спасибо.Какие осложнение бывает после SLT? Всем глаукомой можно сделать?
My opthalmologist just recommended SLT. Because my pressure is 24.
Suppose to haves lt thurs . Not comfortable with this at all. Drops work fine for me one at bedtime pressure 17. Idk
Ok
I have been on Monopost and Dorzolomide for a long while but my pressures have not dropped. So it looks like SLT is my next option.
Do have a look at AB-Interno Canoplasty
There is nothing “easy” in treating high IOP. The drops all have side affects that really affect one’s quality of life.
Either the side effects or going blind
I'm on 3 eye meds and they make my ears ring...but it sure beats going blind !!!
@@mikebowers5228 for real!!!
I have glaucoma, is this procedure safe without danger?
Thank you for your question, Anna. All procedures have risks. The SLT procedure has an extremely low complication rate. The doctor who performs the procedure should review risks with you.
I have glaucoma If I knew that there was surgery I would have had the surgery done long time ago and today I will be still in working now No I don't have a job my driving was stopped immediately I repeated done a Vision field test but it was too Much dots As a minibus driver for special needs children now I can't work I love driving like crazy try to look after my partner who's got multiple scrotus now I can't even take her to the hospital because I cannot drive I have reapplied for my licence only to drive a car Had I known that I could have surgery long time ago today I will be the happiest man on Earth but now with my mental States going all the way down to 2% I'm trying to recover it is hard to walk around which I've got new problems in ankle problems and other medical problems Driving was the only thing that kept me above the mental health stage and doing good causes every day
Love drops hate the lasers
Can you please give me info why NF leads to glaucoma.
NF, or neurofibromatosis, is a congenital disease of benign tumorous growths that can appear on skin, nervous system, and eyes. In rare cases (1/300 patients with NF), such growths can develop within an eye or the eye socket tissues surrounding the eye, leading to obstruction of aqueous outflow and to a rise in eye pressure.

Dear Muhib,
Prescription eyedrops could potentially help you. I can't really give a firm suggestion, however, without seeing you for an exam. Please call our office at 440-526-1974 to schedule an appointment.
