NSEC serves the residents of Nissequogue with a variety of concerns including open angle glaucoma. Open angle glaucoma runs in families and is usually treated with eye drops to lower the pressure. Our board certified eye doctors also use laser called Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) to lower the intraocular pressure.
With SLT, a cold laser is used to safely open the drainage canal of the eye and lower the intraocular pressure. For those patients that are not well controlled with eye drops or do not want to use eye drops, SLT is a great way to lower the pressure in the eye. At times, it is necessary to do more conventional surgery to lower the eye pressure.
