A study of 1.1 million patients found preoperative gonioscopy was coded in only 63.2% before glaucoma procedures, lower than expected. This suggests underutilization or under-coding, particularly before MIGS, impacting surgical planning.

This paper proposes a fixed low-energy Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for glaucoma. It suggests energy titration is unnecessary, simplifying the procedure, maintaining efficacy, and potentially increasing SLT accessibility for patients.
