Bond Eye Associates has invested in an even more advanced laser system that has shown to do no harm to the patients trabecular meshwork. This new technology is called MicroPulse Laser Trabeculoplasty (MLT)[1].

MicroPulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) uses repetitive, low-energy laser pulses that are separated by brief rest periods. This “micropulsing” allows the trabecular meshwork to cool between laser pulses to prevent tissue damage. MLT reduces or eliminates laser treatment risks and collateral effects, and therefore can be repeated as needed.

Although your eye care professional may suggest MLT surgery at any time, it is often performed after trying to control intra-ocular pressure with medicines. In many cases, you will need to keep taking glaucoma medications even after MLT surgery.
