For patients who have open angle glaucoma, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT) are used to open the drainage system in these patients so that the internal drainage system of the eye functions better. In that way, the pressure is then lowered in the eye. This procedure is effective in 75% of patients.
