Laser trabeculoplasty is a minimally invasive laser procedure used to treat open-angle glaucoma by improving the eye’s natural fluid drainage system. By enhancing fluid outflow, the procedure helps reduce intraocular pressure and protect the optic nerve. Patients undergo eye pressure testing and gonioscopy to confirm candidacy before treatment. The procedure is performed in an outpatient setting and does not require anesthesia beyond numbing eye drops. During treatment, a laser is applied to the drainage tissue inside the eye to stimulate improved fluid flow. The procedure is painless and typically completed within minutes. Laser trabeculoplasty may reduce the need for glaucoma medications and can be repeated if necessary, depending on individual response.
