About This Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension Study in Lakeworth

The goal of this study is to understand if SLT performed at low energy is as effective as SLT performed at standard energy, and also to see if repeating SLT at low energy once a year will prevent or delay the need for daily eye drop medications better than waiting for SLT to wear off before repeating it.

Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh
