For patients not covered by health insurance, glaucoma diagnosis typically costs $50-$200 or more, depending on the doctor and tests performed. And treatment typically costs about $12-$90 per month -- or $150-$1,080 or more per year -- for medication, usually in the form of eye drops.
SLT is most effective for patients unable to keep up with a daily eye drop treatment because of its cost, inconvenience or side effects. SLT controls glaucoma symptoms for up to 5 years with no need for additional medication, and relieves symptoms by promoting the body's natural healing response.
