Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT)

Our clinic is thrilled to announce the expansion of our glaucoma treatment options with the addition of the innovative Voyager™ DSLT device. Direct Selective Laser Trabeculopolasty (DSLT) offers efficient and effective treatment for patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

HOW DOES DSLT WORK?

Voyager™ DSLT delivers laser pulses directly through the limbus to the trabecular meshwork, improving aqueous outflow and reducing IOP. Designed for patient comfort, the procedure offers a gonio-free experience for patients with laser delivery lasting only 2.4 seconds.

Expert physician groups are increasingly recognizing selective laser trabeculoplasty as an initial treatment for open angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) patients.

The GLAUrious prospective, multi center, randomized controlled trial demonstrated that DSLT provided effective IOP lowering sustained at 12 months. DSLT also demonstrated

• No serious ocular adverse events through 12 months.*
• A reduction in the medication burden—70% of patients entering the study remained
medication-free at 12 months, and 62% of all patients remained medication-free at 12 months
• An extremely high patient satisfaction rate, with 96% satisfaction at 6 months, and 93% of patients stating they would recommend the treatment to a friend

*The most common adverse event was mild, self resolving, punctate sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, which was reported in 20 DSLT participants (20.2%). These events resolved without clinical sequelae.

**Short term side effects include mild discomfort, redness, blurry vision, or sensitivity to light. Themost common side effect was a contained bleed from a small blood vessel, often appearing as a redspot on the white part of the eye that resolved without treatment.
