‘No pain, all gain.’ That’s how June described her Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) — a quick laser treatment that helps reduce pressure inside the eye by improving the eye’s natural drainage system. It’s one of the most effective non-surgical options for glaucoma and high eye pressure. No cuts, no general anaesthetic, no recovery. Just a few minutes in the chair. If you’ve been putting off an eye check — or you’ve been told your pressure is high then get in touch to have an assessment of your eyes.

Narrow angles Some patients are found to have “narrow angles,” which refers to the drainage space inside the eye between the iris and cornea. When this space is narrow, fluid may not drain as efficiently, and in certain situations this can lead to a rise in eye pressure. In most people, narrow angles do not cause problems, but a small proportion may be at risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma, which can affect vision if untreated.
