Announcing Voyager DSLT for Glaucoma Care
Florida Vision Institute is excited to share an important update in the care we provide to patients throughout Palm Beach County. We are now equipped with Voyager DSLT, a new advancement in glaucoma treatment that brings a higher level of precision and comfort to a condition that affects millions of people each year. As glaucoma continues to be one of the most common causes of progressive vision loss, technology like DSLT offers new hope for patients who want an option that is comfortable, efficient, and designed to protect their sight for the long term.
Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of vision because most people do not notice symptoms until the disease has already caused permanent damage. This is why ongoing management is so important. Traditional treatments such as eye drops and SLT laser therapy have helped many patients maintain stable eye pressure, but new approaches now make it possible to treat glaucoma in a way that is less disruptive and more adaptable to everyday life. Voyager DSLT is an example of this progress.
DSLT uses a digitally guided system that delivers a sequence of extremely gentle pulses to a precise area of the eye. What makes this treatment unique is the level of control the system provides. Instead of relying solely on manual positioning, the technology maps exactly where treatment should be applied. This creates a consistent and streamlined experience for the patient, and the entire procedure is completed much faster than older forms of laser therapy. There is no contact lens placed on the eye, which helps reduce discomfort and shortens the overall process.
Patients often ask what this means for results. The purpose of DSLT is to lower eye pressure in a way that supports long-term stability. Many patients prefer this approach because it fits easily into a normal clinic visit, and it may help reduce the need for daily medications in certain cases. Although each person’s situation is different, our physicians often describe DSLT as a valuable option for patients who want preventive treatment early in the disease or for those looking to enhance their current management plan.
Another important benefit is how quickly patients return to regular activity. Because the treatment does not involve a contact lens on the eye, most people find that their vision feels normal again within a short period after the procedure. This ease of recovery helps patients stay on track with their care without disrupting work, driving, or daily routines.
By adding Voyager DSLT to our glaucoma services, Florida Vision Institute continues its commitment to giving patients access to modern technology that improves comfort and supports better long-term control of eye pressure. Our team is here to help you understand
