SLT is a relatively quick and easy outpatient procedure.

The SLT treatment regimen is evolving and protocols vary from treatment of 360º, 180º or 90º of the trabecular meshwork. The Ellex clinical advisory network has prepared a set of treatment guidelines based on the results of clinical studies.

Studies have shown that ethnicity can play an important role in affecting the efficacy of SLT.

Generally in Asia, there is a much higher incidence of angle-closure, open-angle glaucoma in patients with narrow angles, and normal tension glaucoma. For these cases, Ellex has developed a set of Asian SLT Treatment Guidelines in order to optimize patient results.
