SLT should be offered to all patients newly diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and to those who are not happy on drops. In my practice, I use laser technologies from Lumibird Medical. The Ellex Tango and Quantel Fusion platforms both provide outstanding results for my SLT patient cohorts.
As a glaucoma specialist, having the Quantel Medical SLT Fusion gives me the confidence to offer my patients the best option as a first line of treatment.
In 2021, SLT laser therapy should be considered as a preferred first line treatment for glaucoma treatment and SubCyclo favored as an alternative treatment option to surgery
It is becoming increasingly clear that we should change the paradigm to use SLT as primary therapy.
The earlier we can successfully address glaucoma, the better we can reduce the morbidity of progression, reduce the need for more aggressive surgical options and reduce the burden of medication and patient-compliance issues.
Since 1993, Quantel Medical develops, manufactures and markets innovative medical laser and ultrasound solutions.
World leader in ophthalmology, its lasers and ultrasounds are designed to diagnose and treat the four main causes of blindness: cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration; and also dry eye disease.
