The purpose of this research is to determine the most effective method in using Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. We will investigate the IOP lowering differences between nasal 180° SLT and inferior 180° SLT,. The second stage will assess the effect of repeating SLT in the opposite 180° sector after 3 months.
