Laser trabeculoplasty is a procedure used to treat glaucoma by improving the drainage of fluid from the eye, which lowers intraocular pressure (IOP). The procedure is typically used for patients with open-angle glaucoma who do not respond well to medication.

During laser trabeculoplasty, a laser is directed at the trabecular meshwork, the tissue that drains aqueous humor from the eye. The laser energy helps to open up the drainage channels, improving fluid flow and reducing pressure in the eye.

This minimally invasive procedure can help control glaucoma and prevent damage to the optic nerve, reducing the risk of vision loss.
