QUESTION:
My left eye is affected with glaucoma. I am using 4 eye drops two times a day, pressure is normal as of now. I was operated for retina detachment in the left eye after which silicon oil was put in then it was removed after a year since the eye pressure was high. Then Dr put in some aqueous solution in my eye after removing the silicon oil. But even now the pressure has not dropped naturally i am still using drops. Doctor has put buckle in my eye to hold the retina. Can i undergo canaloplasty?

ANSWER:
Dear ******,
It is possible to perform canaloplasty after retinal detachment surgery and I have done so a few times myself. That being said, it is a much more challenging surgery and would require finding an experienced canaloplasty surgeon.
