Learn an evidence-based approach to how selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) can benefit patients with open-angle glaucoma. We will discuss which patients are the best candidates for success, general laser settings, and clinical protocols, along with surgical pearls from a colleague skilled in performing SLT. YAG peripheral laser iridotomy for narrow-angle glaucoma will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:

Review clinical indications, incidence, and anatomical considerations for YAG laser peripheral iridotomy

Review intra- & post-operative protocols & techniques for YAG laser peripheral iridotomy
Review intra- & post-operative protocols & techniques for SLT
Review potential contraindications for & surgical complications from YAG laser peripheral iridotomy, as well as ways to mitigate those risks
