In Eye Center Alfredo Ferrer we are committed to offering the most advanced techniques for the care of your eye health. We are proud to announce the incorporation of the new VISULAS® green SLT laser by ZEISS, one of the most advanced platforms on the market for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
What is SLT?
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a non-invasive and highly precise laser technique that helps to lower intraocular pressure (IOP), one of the main risk factors for glaucoma. It works by applying low-energy laser pulses to the eye’s drainage system (the trabecular meshwork) to improve fluid outflow—without damaging ocular tissues or altering the anatomy of the eye.
Main benefits for our patients
- Outpatient procedure, painless and incision-free
- May reduce or eliminate the need for pressure-reducing eye drops
- Compatible with other glaucoma treatments
- Can delay or avoid surgery
- Repeatable if needed, without cumulative damage
- ZEISS technology: precision, safety, and proven effectiveness
With the ZEISS SLT system, we now offer even greater precision, comfort, and efficiency, reinforcing our commitment to modern, personalized, and minimally invasive ophthalmology.
If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma or high eye pressure, contact our team to find out whether SLT may be right for you.
