Am I a suitable candidate for laser treatment for glaucoma?

Ideal candidates for laser treatments are those with open-angle or closed-angle glaucoma who seek less invasive options to lower intraocular pressure. A comprehensive eye examination by our glaucoma specialist will determine the best treatment for your specific condition.

How long does the laser treatment procedure take, and what is the recovery time?

Laser treatments typically take about 10-15 minutes per eye. Healing typically takes a few days, with vision stabilising and normal activities resuming within 24 hours. Follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and pressure management. It is advisable to refrain from driving immediately after the procedure due to temporary blurred vision.

Can glaucoma be cured after laser treatment?

Laser treatment helps control glaucoma by reducing eye pressure but does not reverse existing damage. It aims to halt disease progression.

Is laser treatment for glaucoma painful?

There are several laser treatment options depending on the type of glaucoma and the severity of the disease: <ul> <li>Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (PI): For patients with narrow-angle glaucoma. The laser is performed with topical anaesthesia, resulting in slight discomfort but not pain.</li> <li>Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): For open-angle glaucoma patients. This procedure is performed under topical anaesthesia and is essentially pain-free.</li> <li>Diode Laser (Transscleral or Micropulse): For those with advanced glaucoma. An anaesthetic block is used to numb the eye fully as this procedure can be uncomfortable and is typically performed in the operating theatre.</li> </ul>

Are scans included in the glaucoma consultation price?

Scans are not included in the initial consultation fee. The initial consultation is £260, and scans cost £300 in total (either 1 or 2 scans, as confirmed by the consultant). This brings the total price to £560.
