- Dr. Michael Richie discusses selective laser trabeculoplasty, SLT glaucoma treatment. Although SLT is not a new treatment, this glaucoma treatments placement in therapy is changing. Data collected on the treatment shows that 75 percent of people receiving selective laser trabeculaoplasty have successful lowering of pressure. Since the SLT treatment works well, and statistics show longer-term success (about five years), it is growing in popularity. In this video, Dr. Michael Richie covers the benefits of SLT treatment for glaucoma and demonstrates an entire SLT treatment procedure, discussing the effects to the trabecular meshwork of the eye.

Thank you so much for explaining. I will be getting mine done I’m just waiting for the doctors office to call and schedule my appointment, My eye has been high and early stage of glaucoma. I’m praying to God hopefully everything will go smoothly 🙏
I had this treatment done September of last year on both eyes. Over two months the doctor wean me off my eye drops. I have never had pressure since. No more eye drops. The procedure is good for 14 to 16 years. Every 3 months I see my ophthalmologist and there's never been a change that I need to go back to the drops. Maybe your doctor didn't do the procedure correctly. 50 laser cuts into each eye minimum. I have 56 in my left eye and 55 in the right. And they feel wonderful!
The procedure is good for 4 to 6 years, not 14 to 16...
I'm getting this procedure in a few days! This video has decreased my anxiety about it to about zero. So, thank you so much for this video!!!
thank you for explaining the treatment in a very calming approach. you have explained the technical terms ... well done
I've had this procedure done to both eyes. My doctor does one eye at a time. Your eye is numbed with drops, and it really is painless. I just had my 6 week check up and the pressure in that eye went down from 19 with drops twice a day to 13 with drops twice a day. My doctor told me that I can go down to drops just once a day, and when I get the check-up for the second eye that I just had done today, she will see how I'm doing and may consider taking me off the drops completely.
Thanks so much for putting my mind at rest concerning the laser treatment i will be getting
Thank you for showing what is seen in the microscope
Thank you Doc, nicely explained. I was a bit worried to go ahead with the treatment.
Doctor Richie uses the best lasers money can buy. Great to have this technology!
I literally have the worst anxiety and when I was told I have glaucoma I cried and freaked bout this lazer treatment. I now after watching this.. I'm excited to get it don't still a bit nervous but this don't look bad at all thank you
Hi Rainbow, I broke down in the doctor's waiting room, too, after I was diagnosed with glaucoma. Just had the laser done two days ago. How are you now?
Renee Flanders Renee, how do you feel now?
Thankyou so much for this i am due my procedure on the 27th oct 2023 and this has slightly put my mind at rest
Thank you for making this very informative video! I am having this procedure done tomorrow and I’m very nervous. Your video helped calm my fears. Many thanks !!
My m other is due to have SLT done tommorow and she is a bit anxious about it. But, having watched
this, I don't think she has much to worry about. Thanks for the video, it is very informative.
@@Vrosimos_Kipos yes this does work. I had it done last year and having it done again next week.
I had laser b4 didn’t work. Not looking forward to this at all
Thank you so very much for this video !!!
Having this done tomorrow. This makes me a lot less nervous. Thanks.
How did everything go? Did you ultimately do both eyes? (I know doctors wait a week or more between eyes.)
Great Video !!!
Thankyou ,very well explained in details extremely helpful video for the people having glaucoma
It is untrue that if someone has SLT they don't need to use drops every day anymore. This was somewhat misleading. Most people still need their drops, as SLT drops IOP by about 20% in the people for whom it even works at all. Unless your pressure is like 22 and is dropped to 18 with SLT, you're still going to need a drop. Mine are 33 and 33 - if SLT drops them as much as possible that's still going to leave me with a pressure of about 26-27 which is still higher than the pressure at which I was originally put on drops. I will still need my drops 3x daily in both eyes even if I have a fully successful SLT and this goes for more than 50% of people who have SLT done based on all of my research and what my own glaucoma specialist says.
I am a patient that had my eyes done with the same type of treatment I started getting severe pain in my eyes and dryness from this procedure on my right eye I no longer have my I I've gone completely blind this procedure is very risky these doctors need to reassure patients and tell them before they do this procedure because once you sign on the dotted line your rights are gone I'm speaking out about this to others that are doing this procedure and think it's not going to take effect of them it is on the long-term your vision will never come back you cannot repair it with laser the only way your vision come back as do not show alternative which is to keep your telomere support healthy I keep your acidic levels at a healthy Peak continuously eat healthy and exercise and eventually you will have someone of a vision on my right I am completely blind though
@@deannaarmijo3652 lol you did not go blind from an SLT treatment. Dont spread bullshit. The SLT is VERY safe and there are no side effects. Stop lying.
If you are diagnosed with pre-glacoma is this treatment good to have.
Trustworthy information. Thank you. But how about eye floaters threatment? I've been suffering it for about 5 years, and since the last christmass I've got numerous floaters irritating me and making the hell in my life. I see them coming from the bottom of my eyes upward when I raising up my head abruptly. I see them moving in any directions of different shapes and sizes.
It turned so I can't contemplate the firmament or the sea line anymore because of erraticly moving dark spots, small circles and stains causing by floaters. I would appreciate any information about specific laser threatment methods that would probably keep me sane filling me with hope to mitigate the negative floaters effect. Thank you!
I'm having this procedure tomorrow
Can you publish your research findings? Seems from posts below it doesn't work in a lot of cases.
I ended up getting this as an emergency 17th December 2015. I was Ok other than the bright lights being to harsh. But it didn't work for me, didn't bring the pressure down in my eyes so I'm now waiting to have the lenses replaced. it just doesn't work for everyone
Thank you. This was very informative.
I underwent SLT on Sept. 20, 2019. Few minutes after, I felt so much pain in my head and I asked the doctor if it is okey to take pain reliever and he agreed. The pain slightly subsided but when I got home, I decided to take again pain reliever bucause the pain still exist and I've been with this for 3 days.
I am a patient and I had this done as well I had massive pain I once in awhile fill it now but I've learned to deal with it I had to do natural therapy and I completely get rid of all the pain and pressure these doctors don't tell you the rest but there is risk to all of it I no longer can see out of my right eye due to this procedure I'm completely blind because of it it's a very risky procedure it damages the I completely you cannot repair it once they mess with the eye there's no repairing there's natural alternatives out there that I've tried it's actually helping my Cataract and my glaucoma completely cleared my eyes if I didn't do what I did I would not have a vision at all but the right eye is completely damaged though I am now reading as I'm typing this I could see a lot better with my natural alternatives keep your telomere support on hand which helps the DNA to reverse anti-aging within your body I went to school and studied medicine and you don't do medicine you do natural alternatives thank you for letting me know about your procedure and what it did to you
Hi how are you feeling now what natural remedies did you do to lower your eye pressure?
Yeah I’m suppose to have this done thurs . Not sure I want to have this done. Had laser done b4 the lights that is on your eye gives my terrible migraine ! Horrible. After all that it didn’t work. This is a different laser but I still not comfortable with the thought of having it done
I have Glaucoma in both of my eyes and I have been taking eye drops for my medical treatment for lowering my eye pressure. I never had Glaucoma surgery.
I Am Loving the Sweet Sounds of the Laser!
That sounds dumb
Dose this help for open Angel glaucoma?
Hi sir my father is glaucoma patient , wht is treatment for glaucoma and how to increase vision ..
I have received the LTG 3 on right eye and 2 on Left however the pressure appears to creep up over a period of 3 to 6 months from teens to low 20s every time.
Hello dr please i want to know if I will have floaters after lazer yag of course after implant lences
Where is your clinic I mean where is the location?
Is it a painful process?
Excellent video
my eyez is very weak itz -14 both eye plz tell i can lazar treatment
Where do they do this in australia
Just had this done yesterday
John no side effects at all. No pain. Just a bit nerving while it’s being done
@@nancyshirah8427 have you had your eye pressure rechecked yet? Did it lower your pressure?
@@REALcatmom it removed some scar tissue from my line of vision. Eye pressure still gets elevated at times but I think it has to do with blood sugars being too high. I’m trying very hard to get that under control
@@nancyshirah8427 thanks for sharing your experience. Was it painful (before and after)? I am potentially a candidate for this surgery and trying to learn all I can.
@@REALcatmom not painful at all. Maybe a bit of discomfort. I had anesthesia. And had to wear a patch for a few days. And eye drop regimen 3 times a day
I had this surgery 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately I sustained a severe corneal abrasion from the lens that was placed on my eye. It had to be removed because of a bubble and placed on once again so it was removed twice, causing the abrasion to be worse. I have corneal atrophy (I've been told). The laser surgery itself was not painful, but the abrasion is horrible and I am still having blurred vision. Is there an alternative surgery to this one, if I would need to have another one (which I will probably have to have in the future)? I don't think I could stand to have another abrasion. Incidentally, this also happened when I I had the LAG surgery. I would love to hear comments about alternative surgery not using a lens. Thanks.
I work with these lasers and the lenses the doctors use can be in really bad shape. Don’t be afraid to ask to have a look at the lens. Look close at the surface and if it’s not good ask the doctor to use one of theirs other lenses. I can’t speak for your condition but typically there is other treatments.
I'm having this done next week. It does concern me at some level as i've already had an iridotomy twice on both eyes and now i'm getting the SLT Laser treatment. The idea of losing my sight scares me just a little/lot, but i am hopeful. I wonder how much does hight blood pressure influence the development of glaucoma?
@John s Well it's been about 8 months since i had it done. It was painful and complications with extreme pain for about 5 days between the two laser procedures. However sine it's been done and since my follow up the pressure has normalized once again. I do have to make sure i put over the counter eye drops in a few times a day. Things are much better now.
What are chances of failure in this treatment & is it good enough for all sorts glaucoma?
This procedure and what he is saying is misleading patients I'm letting everyone know about this treatment it is not good for your eyes I'm completely blind on one eye from this procedure it is very risky they do not tell you this and you also develop dry eye for the rest of your life and they tell you that you no longer Lee drops and that you'll see again not true that's too risky
Drops I didn’t mind. One drop at bedtime. Pressure 17. But now they want to do laser. Not really wanting to do this . Was fine with drops
hi Doc Ritchie , ive seen your video on , i have glocuma , can you cure me pls . ☺😊 im 40yrs old
How much is laser surgery
What are the risks and disadvantages associated with this procedure??? Please reply back soon.
There are many risks with this procedure I am a patient that had my eyes done I can no longer see on my right eye I've had these procedures among injections but these procedures have literally burned at my eye inside to where I cannot see I have pain Beyond pain for the rest of my life and they don't tell you these risk involved they will not it's all about the money do not sign on the dotted line you sign your rights away and there's nothing that you can do be careful with these procedures nobody needs to touch your eyes in an unnatural way there's other ways of taking care of your eyes and reversing what is caused by these pressures in the eye they're out there I've tried
Hi , If anyone can help me please im 29 and im suffering from Glaucoma from birth , recently i had SLT on my left eye but I am really disappointed after I had it I started to see Horizontal lines moving as my eye moves and its annoying specially under sunlight . Doctors did not give me a real explanation for that and any treatment they just tell me it will go by time , but that is not true ! i am really upset for my situation
Eye drop, drink some coriander juice, eat healthy, no stress, search online for video on massage and acupressure for glaucoma,omega 3
Is just one eye done at a time?
Yes and it hurts. They tell u it won’t but that’s cap lol. I’ve had it done
I've entered ASMR territory
ASMR is Beautiful
I believe that this manually operated equipment has to some extent been superseded by automated laser technology which covers the eye meshwork in a 180° manner. Check with your specialist.
completely false. And there is no need to do the entire mesh in the eye. There are only a few key spots.
I have glaukoma eyes,but i don't have money for treatman.i hope there are good people who can help me.im from indonesia.thanks🙏🙏

This doctor needs to explain the risk of laser. And has damaged my eye Beyond damaged there are risk and everything you need to get addresses with patience because of out of experience it is not what they say it is
there is no risk you liar.
Can Glaucoma be cured completely?
No glaucoma is a permanent marker once you have it on your eyes. I have this disease for the rest of my life and I hope my eyedrops continue to work and my vision doesn't change. I have friends with glaucoma but have worse vision or no vision at all.
Only Jesus Christ can Heal Glaucoma
I did this surgery 2 years ago and it was so painful. Since the surgery I have salty taste in my mouth all the time. When I put a drop in my eyes the taste comes in the mouth. I am not sure the surgery is done properly. I regret having this surgery
My eye pressure got to 60😂
sorry mate....i wouldnt trust you to brush my cat
