New laser zaps eye pressure in seconds for glaucoma patients

NCT ID NCT07281391

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new laser treatment called Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) for people with pigmentary glaucoma, a type of glaucoma that can lead to vision loss. The laser is applied directly through the eye's surface in just a few seconds, aiming to lower high eye pressure. Researchers will follow 45 adults for up to 12 months to see how well the treatment works and if it reduces the need for glaucoma medications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) device

What this could lead to

If successful, DSLT could offer a quick, non-invasive way to lower eye pressure in pigmentary glaucoma, potentially reducing the need for daily eye drops.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early study with only 45 participants and no comparison group. The results may not apply to all patients, and the pressure-lowering effect might not last long-term.
