[Laser trabeculoplasty for glaucoma].

• The doctor will put drops in your eye to numb the eye. • A special microscope (slit lamp) and lens (goniolens) are used to guide the laser beam to the canals (trabecular meshwork) where fluid drains from the eye. • The doctor makes small burns in the trabecular meshwork. • At the end of the surgery, the doctor will put drops in your eye to prevent eye pressure from rising right away. Some people feel some pressure in the eye during the surgery.
