DSLT Performance for Newly Diagnosed Open Angle Glaucoma

This observational study is looking at how well a procedure called DSLT (which helps newly diagnosed patients stay well-controlled and off medications) works for people with Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG). The study aims to see if DSLT can reduce eye pressure by at least 20% from the start of treatment. You might be able to join if you are 30 or older, have primary open angle glaucoma with eye pressure between 18-26 mmHg, and have mild to moderate glaucoma. You cannot have had any prior glaucoma treatment, including medications, lasers, or surgery. The study plans to include 55 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
