DSLT Performance in Treatment-naïve Patients With Newly Diagnosed Open Angle Glaucoma

April 16, 2025 updated by: Barnet Dulaney Perkins Eye Centers

How Does First Line Treatment With DSLT Perform in Treatment-naïve Patients With Newly Diagnosed Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

DSLT demonstrates a ≥ 20% reduction of IOP from pre-treatment baseline in POAG patients naïve of previous glaucoma treatment at 12 months.
