WHAT IS SLT? AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

What is Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), and how does it help lower intraocular pressure? In this 3D medical animation, we explore how aqueous humor normally drains from the eye, what happens when drainage through the trabecular pathway becomes less efficient, and how SLT targets the trabecular meshwork. The video explains the role of the 532-nm SLT laser, selective interaction with pigmented cells, the biological response within the trabecular meshwork, improved aqueous outflow, and how this can help lower intraocular pressure (IOP). In this video: aqueous humor and natural eye drainage, trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal, elevated intraocular pressure, how SLT works, 514-nm selective laser treatment, biological response and remodeling, 180° vs 360° SLT, improved aqueous outflow, IOP lowering, and key benefits of SLT.
