Abstract
This instruction course will detail practical pearls of using the selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in the treatment of all primary glaucoma subtypes: primary open angle glaucoma, primary angle closure glaucoma, and normal tension glaucoma. It will compass evidence-based information and instructor’s experiences on the following: the clinical indications for treatment, laser techniques (do’s and don’ts), potential complications and their management, post-laser medications and follow-up, repeated treatments, and the predictors of laser success and failure. The course will focus on using the SLT in Asian eyes, which are relevantly different to the Caucasian counterparts in terms of angle opening and pigmentations.
