A Clinically Proven Treatment Option for Open Angle Glaucoma
  Faculty:
Richard A. Quinones, M.D.
 


Richard A. Quinones, M.D..

Topics will include:

  • Safe: SLT is not associated with systemic side effects, collateral tissue damage or the compliance and cost issues of medications
  • Selective: SLT utilizes selective photothermolysis in order to target melanin-containing TM cells while leaving the surrounding tissue intact and without thermal damage
  • Smart: SLT stimulates the body’s natural mechanisms to enhance outflow of the aqueous humor and consequently – reduction in IOP level
  • Sensible: SLT therapy is reimbursed by Medicare and many other insurance providers, minimizing your patient’s out-of pocket
