When drop compliance is an issue, we can use laser treatment modalities to control the eye pressure without the use of drops. In this talk, we will discuss the different types of laser treatments available, which one is suitable for which patient and the safety profile as well as their efficacy. We will be discussing lasers performed in the outpatient setting (SLT and PI) and those that need to be done in the operating theatre (ECP, TSC, MDLT).
