Last Friday I had my first surgery since I had my tonsils out at age... er... six of so: SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty). It's meant to kind of unclog the drains of your eyes, to prevent high eye pressure. It seems to have worked, after six days my right eye went from 26 to 22, which is more or less the top end of the normal range. That was the first eye, the left one's turn is in May.
It's an interesting procedure that only targets the blockage and leaves no scar tissue. And it can be repeated if necessary. The effects last for about 3 or 4 years.
It did make me realise how lucky I've been so far, just two operations in over 50 years.
So anyway, if you have high eye pressure and don't like the idea of eye drops, SLT might be a good alternative.
