Direct vs. Conventional SLT in Open-Angle Glaucoma: A RCT

Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study compares two laser treatments for open-angle glaucoma: Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT). SLT is a widely used procedure that requires a manual technique with a goniolens, while DSLT is a new, automated, non-contact method using the Eagle system. The study will evaluate whether DSLT is as effective as SLT in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either treatment and will be monitored over 12 months to assess changes in IOP, medication use, and safety outcomes. The goal is to determine if the simpler DSLT procedure can provide similar results to SLT, potentially improving patient comfort and access to glaucoma care.
