A Canaloplasty procedure might be the optimal choice for patients whose medications aren't working, but aren't quite ready to take on the risks of surgery. It may also be optimal for patients whose medications are working but are frustrated
with the frequency of dosing.
This all adds up to the possibility that you can live life without having to deal with medications.It also means that you may never have to undergo glaucoma surgery. Imagine waking up in the morning and not having to put drops in your eyes. Imagine going on vacation without traveling with all those medications. But most of all, imagine the security in knowing your IOP is low and your glaucoma is now under control.
Canaloplasty benefits compared to traditional glaucoma treatments:
- Potential reduction or elimination of medications and the associated costs
- Less risk of postoperative complications versus penetrating surgical alternatives
- Does not eliminate the possibility of future treatment alternatives
- Reduced scarring
