Summary

This study tested whether aiming a laser (SLT) at the nasal or inferior part of the eye works better to lower pressure in open-angle glaucoma. 13 adults with high eye pressure received one of the two treatments. The main goal was to see which location reduces eye pressure more effectively and whether patients could stop using eye drops.
