Glaucoma is a long-term eye condition caused by increased pressure inside the eye, which can gradually damage the optic nerve and affect vision. It’s often called the “silent thief of sight” because it develops slowly and painlessly, with few early symptoms.
At My-iClinic, our glaucoma specialists use advanced laser technology to lower eye pressure and protect your vision before significant loss occurs. This quick, precise procedure can improve fluid drainage from the eye or reduce fluid production, depending on your individual needs. Regular monitoring and early treatment are key and our team is here to help manage your condition with care, confidence, and a personalised plan for lifelong eye health.
Laser treatment for glaucoma is a highly effective way to control eye pressure and slow disease progression without invasive surgery. During the procedure, a specialist applies gentle laser pulses to the eye’s drainage system to help fluid flow more efficiently or, in some cases, to reduce fluid production.
The treatment is quick, painless, and completed in just a few minutes. Most patients can return home shortly after and resume normal activities the following day, with only mild temporary sensitivity or redness.
Laser treatment offers long-term protection for your vision and can often reduce or even eliminate the need for daily eye drops. It’s particularly useful for patients who find it difficult to maintain medication routines or who prefer a more advanced, technology-driven solution.
At My-iClinic, our glaucoma specialists use the latest precision laser systems to deliver safe, consistent results; helping patients maintain healthy eye pressure, preserve sight, and enjoy greater peace of mind about their long-term vision health.
Discover our packages to help manage Glaucoma
Providing three full Glaucoma investigations with our specialist, plus free unlimited pressure checks.
This package will begin on your second visit with us (after your initial Glaucoma consultation).
Your consultations in your annual management package will be carried out every four months for the year for a comprehensive check-up.
This package includes two in-depth glaucoma investigations with our specialist, typically combining optic nerve imaging (e.g., OCT), visual field testing, pressure measurement, and a review of your treatment plan. You’ll also have unlimited pressure (IOP) checks between visits, so you can pop in for quick readings whenever you’re unsure or your drops change.
The package starts from your second visit, following your initial glaucoma consultation, and is designed to keep a close, convenient watch on your eye health.
Glaucoma is a group of conditions that can damage the optic nerve, often without early symptoms. Use the table below to compare common types, key risk factors, the core tests we use (like pressure checks, OCT scans and visual fields), first-line treatments, follow-up schedules, and when symptoms need urgent same-day care.
Explore the most common glaucoma laser procedures available at My-iClinic, how they work, what to expect, and when each is recommended.
It’s natural to have questions about glaucoma and how laser treatment can help protect your vision. Our specialists at My-iClinic London have answered some of the most common queries below to help you understand what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
Glaucoma laser treatment is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that uses precise light energy to lower eye pressure; the main cause of optic nerve damage in glaucoma. It helps improve fluid drainage or reduce fluid production within the eye, depending on the type of glaucoma.
Most patients with open-angle or narrow-angle glaucoma can benefit. It’s especially effective for those whose eye pressure remains high despite drops, or for patients who prefer a long-term solution without daily medication.
Treatment typically takes 5 to 15 minutes per eye, depending on the type of laser used. The procedure is painless, and patients can usually go home shortly afterward.
No! Anaesthetic drops are applied before the procedure, so you won’t feel pain. Some patients notice mild discomfort, warmth, or light sensitivity for a few hours, but this resolves quickly.
Many patients see their eye pressure begin to drop within a few days to a few weeks after treatment. Regular follow-up appointments help your specialist track results and decide if further sessions are needed.
We provide a full range of modern glaucoma laser procedures, including Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI), Cyclophotocoagulation (CPC), and YAG laser treatments, tailored to each patient’s specific diagnosis and eye anatomy.
Laser treatment can provide long-lasting pressure control, but glaucoma is a lifelong condition that requires regular monitoring. In some cases, repeat treatments or combination therapies may be recommended to maintain stability.
You’ll receive anti-inflammatory eye drops to aid healing and prevent pressure spikes. Most patients return to normal activities the next day. Your specialist will schedule follow-ups to monitor your recovery and long-term eye pressure.
