Commonly used for many years as a last alternative prior to glaucoma incisional surgery, laser trabeculoplasty has been changing its indication after the advent of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).  Studies using SLT as a first-line treatment have encouraging findings.  Although the laser´s effect is known to be transitory, recent data suggest it can be successfully repeated in cases with good response to the first SLT treatment.
