SLT is a gentle laser treatment for glaucoma and raised eye pressure. Low-energy light is applied to the eye's drainage tissue so fluid can leave more easily, which lowers pressure and helps protect the optic nerve. It can be used on its own or alongside eye drops and may be repeated.

Patients looking for a laser treatment hospital in Mumbai for glaucoma are first screened at Apex with pressure measurement, optic nerve examination and visual field tests. Families who prefer care close to home can start with an examination for laser surgery in Mulund at the Mulund hospital. The doctor explains that SLT lowers pressure but does not restore vision already lost, so regular check-ups continue.
Risks include a short rise in pressure, mild inflammation and an effect that may fade over time.

Apex provides laser care for glaucoma for patients assessed as suitable:

• Glaucoma Screening and Monitoring: Apex measures pressure, examines the optic nerve and tracks visual fields.
• SLT Laser Treatment: Apex applies low-energy laser to improve drainage in open-angle glaucoma.
• Follow-Up Pressure Checks: Apex reviews pressure and decides whether drops or repeat treatment are needed.
