New glaucoma advancements

#Glaucoma care is evolving, and laser therapy is one of the fastest-moving areas. Here, Dr. Justin Schweitzer shares why #DSLT has been such a win for patients and why the next generation of laser systems could take things even further. Femtosecond laser platforms with built-in imaging may soon allow clinicians to create individualized channels through the trabecular meshwork. Meanwhile, new micro-channel laser technologies are aiming for the same goal with a different approach, precise, controlled pathways that enhance outflow without the broader disruption associated with traditional goniotomy. These technologies represent a shift toward customization, tissue preservation, and earlier intervention, offering a potential bridge between SLT and more invasive MIGS procedures. As these tools make their way into they could expand the options available to physicians caring for mild-to-moderate glaucoma.
