SLT – a patient’s perspective

I have known Brian Bussey (pictured) for many years. In his capacity as area manager for Haag-Streit UK, he and I have played with many an example of the latest technology as it came to market (remember the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph anyone?). When recently preparing the paper on selective laser trabeculoplasty or SLT (see Optician 29.03.19), I remembered Brian once telling me that he had undergone the procedure some years back. Who better, I thought, to ask about deciding to have SLT performed and what the results were like?

Q: When did you first have SLT? Was just the one treatment required?
