Glaucoma Treatment Options in Winston-Salem, NC

Glaucoma Treatment Procedures We Offer

We provide several effective glaucoma treatment options. Your recommended treatment will depend on the type and severity of glaucoma, as well as how your condition responds to prior care.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
SLT is a laser procedure that helps improve fluid drainage in the eye to lower intraocular pressure. It is commonly used as an early treatment or in combination with medications.

Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (Voyager DSLT)

DSLT is a newer, non-contact laser treatment that lowers eye pressure by targeting the eye’s drainage system without direct contact. It offers a quick, in-office treatment option.

Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI / LDI)

Laser Peripheral Iridotomy is a laser procedure used to create a small opening in the iris to help improve fluid flow inside the eye and prevent or treat angle-closure glaucoma.

It is commonly recommended for patients who are at risk for or have narrow angles, and it can help reduce the risk of sudden pressure spikes.

iStent® (Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent)

The iStent is a tiny implant that helps improve natural fluid outflow from the eye to reduce intraocular pressure. It is one of the smallest medical implants used in glaucoma treatment.

Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy
