Managing glaucoma or ocular hypertension shouldn’t mean a lifetime of eye drops or invasive surgery. Lake Lazer Eye Center now offers Voyager DSLT (Direct Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) – the first and only automated laser treatment that reduces eye pressure quickly, comfortably and effectively.
What is Voyager DSLT?
Voyager DSLT is a leading-edge laser procedure designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on daily eye drops or more invasive surgical options, Voyager DSLT uses precisely targeted laser energy to improve your eye’s natural drainage system.
The treatment works by delivering laser pulses through the limbus (the border between the cornea and the white part of your eye) to the trabecular meshwork – the eye’s drainage system. This stimulates the eye’s natural healing response, improving aqueous outflow and reducing eye pressure.
The best part? The entire laser delivery takes just 2.4 seconds.
A Comfortable, Automated Experience
If you’ve heard about traditional selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), you might picture a lengthy procedure requiring specialized lenses placed on your eye. Voyager DSLT is different.
This is a fully automated, gonio-free treatment—meaning there’s no lens touching your eye during the procedure. Instead, Voyager DSLT uses advanced SureTrac eye-tracking technology to accurately and safely deliver each laser pulse to exactly the right spot. The intuitive touchscreen interface allows Dr. Khambati to customize the treatment for your unique eyes.
The result is a comfortable, streamlined experience that most patients describe as quick and easy.
Proven Results That Last
Voyager DSLT isn’t just comfortable, it’s highly effective. Clinical studies show that the treatment provides reduced eye pressure that’s sustained out to 12 months after just one treatment. And it has an excellent safety profile, with no related serious ocular adverse events reported.
Even more impressive? 92.5% of DSLT patients said they would recommend the treatment to a friend with glaucoma. That kind of satisfaction speaks volumes about the patient experience, and meets the high standard of care and results we strive to provide at Lake Lazer Eye Center.
Could Voyager DSLT Help You?
Voyager DSLT may be right for you if:
- You’ve been diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension
- You’re looking for an alternative to daily eye drops
- You want a treatment that can work as a first-line therapy
- You prefer a quick, comfortable procedure with lasting results
The treatment can help reduce your dependence on glaucoma medications. And in some cases, may eliminate the need for daily drops altogether. At 12 months, 62% of all DSLT patients were medication-free, and 81% were on the same or fewer medications.
What to Expect
The Voyager DSLT procedure is performed right here at Lake Lazer Eye Center. After numbing drops are applied to your eye, you’ll be positioned comfortably at the laser system. The automated technology takes care of the rest, delivering the treatment in just seconds.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some may notice mild redness or sensitivity to light afterward, but these effects typically resolve quickly. The most common side effect is a small, self-resolving red spot on the white part of the eye (similar to a tiny bruise), which fades on its own.
