[The place of SLT in managing glaucoma].

Abstract

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is effective in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous patients and patients with ocular hypertension. Equivalent to argon laser trabeculoplasty in terms of IOP reduction, SLT has the advantage of preserving surrounding structures. Easy and rapid to perform, SLT may be an interesting therapeutic approach in the management of glaucoma.
