FAQs / Is Canaloplasty a Good Option for Someone Who Is Myopic?

ANSWER:

For nearsighted people canaloplasty is often a better option than trabeculectomy. This is because of the risk of hypotony maculopathy (poor vision from an eye pressure that is too low). With canaloplasty, this risk is very low.
