What is DSLT?
A simpler way to lower eye pressure.
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has long been used to help fluid drain from the eye and lower pressure. Traditionally, it requires a special contact lens held against the eye.
Voyager™ DSLT delivers the treatment automatically through the clear front of the eye, with no contact lens. Built-in eye tracking keeps the laser precisely on target.
No contact
Nothing is placed on the surface of your eye.
Automated precision
Eye tracking guides each laser pulse.
Fewer drops
May reduce or replace daily glaucoma drops for some patients.
Quick visit
Done in the office, with no surgery center visit.
Candidacy
Who is DSLT for?
You have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (high eye pressure)
You find daily drops hard to remember or use
Drops cause side effects that bother you
You’re newly diagnosed and want to discuss laser as a first step
Already using drops?
DSLT may reduce how many drops you need. Your doctor reviews your eye pressure, optic nerve and visual field to decide whether it’s right for you.
Glaucoma treatment options
Where DSLT fits in your care.
Every glaucoma plan is built around your eyes and how your glaucoma is progressing.
I
Eye drops
Daily drops lower pressure by reducing fluid production or improving drainage.
II
Laser (SLT / DSLT)
Laser treatment helps fluid drain and can reduce reliance on drops.
Your surgeon

DSLT FAQs
Questions patients ask us.
Does DSLT hurt?
Nothing touches your eye during treatment, and most patients find it comfortable.
Will I still need eye drops?
Some patients reduce or stop drops. In a clinical study, 62% of DSLT patients were medication-free at 12 months. Results vary, and your doctor will monitor your pressure.
How is DSLT different from SLT?
Both use laser energy to improve drainage. DSLT is automated and non-contact, so no lens is placed on your eye.
Who decides if DSLT is right for me?
Your doctor, after reviewing your eye pressure, optic nerve and visual field tests.
