What is another word for laser trabecular surgery?
Pronunciation: [lˈe͡ɪzə tɹˈe͡ɪbkjʊlə sˈɜːd͡ʒəɹi] (IPA) 
Laser trabecular surgery is a procedure used to treat glaucoma by improving the outflow of eye fluid through the trabecular meshwork. There are a variety of synonyms for this procedure. Some medical professionals refer to it as trabeculoplasty or selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). Other common synonyms include angle-closure glaucoma laser surgery and laser peripheral iridotomy. Though each of these terms may sound slightly different, they all refer to a similar procedure using laser technology to target the trabecular meshwork. By improving the drainage of fluid from the eye, patients with glaucoma can often find relief from symptoms such as increased intraocular pressure and vision loss.
