Direct laser treatment for glaucoma after prior SLT
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a newer type of laser treatment for glaucoma, called direct selective laser trabeculoplasty (DSLT), in people who have already had a standard SLT laser before. It aims to see if DSLT can further lower eye pressure, which may help protect your vision.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eye).
- You have had a previous SLT laser treatment for glaucoma.
- You are not currently taking eye pressure-lowering medications, or you are able to stop them for a short time before the procedure.
- You have not had other glaucoma surgeries (like traditional surgery, tube shunt, or another laser type).
- You have not had cataract surgery in the past 2 years.

This study tests a new laser treatment called DSLT for people who have just been diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or a similar condition like ocular hypertension. It aims to see if the laser can lower eye pressure by at least 20% after six months without needing any eye drops.
This trial tests a laser treatment called DSLT in people recently diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma who have never had any other glaucoma treatment. It aims to see how well the laser lowers eye pressure.
This trial tests a new laser treatment called DSLT for people with normal-tension glaucoma, a type of glaucoma where eye pressure is normal but vision is still damaged. It aims to lower eye pressure and help preserve vision. The study is specifically for people of Asian descent.
This trial tests a special laser treatment called Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) for people with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, a type of glaucoma that can be harder to treat. The treatment aims to lower eye pressure and may help delay or avoid the need for daily eye drops.
This trial is testing a laser treatment called DSLT to see if it can help people with glaucoma use fewer eye drops. It may be a good option if your eye pressure is already controlled with medication and you haven't had glaucoma surgery before.
This study compares a new way of doing laser treatment for open-angle glaucoma versus the standard method. The goal is to see which approach works better at lowering eye pressure and protecting vision.
