FAQs / Can Peripheral Anterior Synechiae (PAS) Be Surgically Removed Before a Canaloplasty Is Done?

ANSWER:

With regard to PAS, it can sometimes be removed with a laser or surgery, but the problem is not so much the PAS as it is the scarring down of the canal related to the PAS (which would probably not be reversed even with removal of the PAS).
