FAQs / Do You Have an Experience in Child Canaloplasty for Glaucoma?

QUESTION:

Dear Dr I am a pediatric ophthalmologist and let me know if you have experience in child Canaloplasty glaucoma and if you have long-term studies , my technique is trabeculectomy more trabeculotomy Thank You Venezuela

ANSWER:

Dear Dra. Pereira,

I’m afraid I do not have experience using the Ellex microcatheter in pediatric glaucoma as my practice focus is adult glaucoma. I have heard from other surgeons, however, that this microcatheter works very well as a method of achieving 360 degree trabeculotomy.
