Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study compares two FDA-approved laser treatments for glaucoma: Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (DSLT) and Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT). Both procedures aim to lower eye pressure and prevent vision loss. DSLT is a newer, non-contact technique that may improve comfort and efficiency. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either DSLT or SLT and followed for 12 months to assess eye pressure, safety, and treatment outcomes.
