May 6, 2017

QUESTION:

Hello, I have question: Can Canaloplasty be done to a person (my sister) who’s been blind for about 7 years? I’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma in one eye as well.

ANSWER:

I’m afraid that if your sister is completely blind (no vision at all) then no surgical treatment will be of any value. I am hopeful that your glaucoma will be more effectively treated.
