The use of laser energy to treat open angle glaucoma has been used by optometric physicians in certain states for over a decade now. This interactive presentation will review and update these ophthalmic laser procedures. Indications, contraindications, risks, benefits, potential complications, pre- and post-operative management, and procedural techniques will be discussed regarding ALT and SLT.
