Laser glaucoma procedures are a family of quick, outpatient treatments that use precisely focused light energy to lower the pressure inside the eye and protect the optic nerve from further damage. Different lasers are used for different forms of glaucoma: Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) improves fluid drainage in open-angle glaucoma, Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) opens a narrow or closed drainage angle to prevent acute attacks, and Cyclophotocoagulation reduces fluid production in advanced or treatment-resistant cases. Each procedure is performed at a slit lamp or with a handheld probe, takes only 5 to 15 minutes per eye, and requires no incisions or stitches. The eye is numbed with drops, patients remain awake throughout, and most return to normal activities within a day or two.
Low-energy laser pulses stimulate the eye's natural drainage meshwork to improve fluid outflow, used for open-angle glaucoma and often offered as a first-line alternative to daily eye drops.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $200
Typical tests for this variant: Intraocular pressure (tonometry), Gonioscopy, Slit-lamp examination, Visual field test (perimetry), OCT of optic nerve. Done in India before hospital admission.
