Research Notes on Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty
Laser surgery has become popular as a step between eye drops and traditional glaucoma surgeries. The most common type of laser surgery performed for glaucoma is argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT). A laser makes tiny, evenly spaced burns in the trabecular meshwork (the area of the eye responsible for draining fluid). The laser does not create new drainage holes but appears to stimulate the drain to function more effectively.
