I had a Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty done some years ago to reduce the pressure. It wasn't painful, and it only took a few minutes, although I had to wait over an hour for the pre-suregy drops to work. It was not successful as far as the pressure was concerned, but it did me no harm, and the pressure has been successfully controlled by drops ever since. What I did notice was that the distance vision in that eye actually improved, and has remained excellent, although they assure me that it had nothing to do with the SLT. But even if it is successful, I believe it is not permanent, and any improvement wears off after a couple of years anyway. It is recognised that it is not really invasive, and even if it doesn't work, you are no worse off. After they did it, they did not even cover it up!
