SLT
Greetings
Has anyone had the SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty)?
If so, would you like to share your experiences and impressions?
As I understand it, the operation is quick, very safe, repeatable, and effective. It appears to be a huge improvement over the trabeculectomy (trab). Of course, there is no such thing as a "surgical free lunch"; in addition to ridiculously large financial costs, there are invariably side effects, at least potentially. However, there are problems, as well, with the various medications.
All comments would be greatly appreciated, including any information about cost (I am self insured).
