Optimal Performance of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty: Results from the Swedish Optimal SLT Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

The magnitude and longevity of SLT results increases substantially if SLT is performed according to the 360/high protocol, without compromising safety. Therefore, we recommend that 360/high SLT be considered as standard treatment.

The impact of topical NSAID treatment on selective laser trabeculoplasty efficacy.

Topical NSAID treatment was not associated with an increased SLT efficacy. On the contrary, the present study is the first to demonstrate that SLT effectiveness may even be reduced by NSAIDs.

Predictors of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Efficacy: Results from the Swedish Optimal Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

The 360/high SLT protocol remained the most effective and reliable technique after adjustment for multiple predictors.
