  1. Even though ALT is preferred over glaucoma surgery (it’s a lot less traumatic) … I was never a huge fan of the procedure. The pressure effect seems to wear off over time and the procedure can’t be repeated. After all, the eye can only suffer so much scarring.

    SLT seems like a better treatment option given the minimal ocular trauma and the ability to be (theoretically) repeated.

    The main downside with both of these lasers is that they don’t work for everyone … I would estimate that 75% of people seem to have a good effect with the remaining having little IOP improvement.
