Glaucoma affects 5-7 percent of the population .Until now besides eyedrops ,invasive surgery in the operating room was the only option. Surgery can have side effects like poor vision and bleeding.Eyedrops have side effects like drowsiness, irritation, breathing difficulty and redness and pricking
For years a laser treatment of glaucoma called ALT existed but was not effective
Now for the first time in INDIA we have anew NANO SLT laser.
This system is totally non invasive and lower the pressure 5-8 points in just one 2 minute sitting. Since its non invasive the patient can go swim immediately after the treatment or even catch a movie.
Premier Glaucoma center of Europe ,the Glaucoma center in Lausanne,Switzerland does over a 100 SLT treatments a month showing how effective it is in reducing glaucoma in patients.
