DSLT Glaucoma Treatment

Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) is a non-invasive laser treatment that lowers eye pressure (IOP) without incisions or contact with the eye.

What Is DSLT?

Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) is an advanced laser treatment used to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by improving the eye’s natural drainage system, allowing fluid to flow more freely and lowering intraocular pressure.

Unlike traditional glaucoma procedures, DSLT is:

  • Non-contact (no lens placed on the eye)
  • Non-invasive (no incisions or surgical instruments)
  • Computer-guided for precision and consistency

    This modern approach helps:

  • Lower eye pressure
  • Reduce dependence on medications
  • Preserve vision
  • Minimize risk and recovery time

DSLT is designed to make glaucoma treatment simpler, more comfortable, and easier to maintain long-term.

Voyager™ DSLT is designed to automatically deliver 120 laser pulses directly through the limbus to the trabecular meshwork to improve aqueous outflow and reduce intraocular pressure.

Benefits of DSLT

Compared to traditional glaucoma treatments, DSLT offers several important advantages:

  • Non-invasive treatment with no incisions
  • No contact with the eye during the procedure
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Quick treatment time
  • Little to no downtime
  • Reduced reliance on daily eye drops

Because DSLT is gentle on the eye, it is often recommended for patients with early to moderate glaucoma and, in some cases, as an alternative to long-term medication use.

DSLT vs. Other Glaucoma Treatments

Glaucoma is typically managed with eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery. DSLT offers a modern option that fits between medications and more invasive procedures.

Effective, but require daily use and can be difficult to maintain

Effective but requires contact with the eye

More invasive, typically used for advanced cases

Non-contact, non-invasive, and convenient

For many patients, DSLT provides a balance of effectiveness, safety, and ease of treatment.

Is DSLT Right for Me?

If your glaucoma is progressing or your current treatment isn’t working as well as it should, DSLT may be the next step. Get started with a comprehensive eye exam.
