ANSWER:
Vision can be blurred for weeks after any glaucoma surgery (canaloplasty included). A common cause of blurred vision after canaloplasty is a hyphema (blood in the eye). This is to be expected and should resolve within weeks. If a hyphema is not the cause of poor vision then there could be a more serious issue. A surgeon should be able to explain the likely cause of poor vision and whether there is reason to be concerned. Fortunately, it is rare for someone to lose significant vision from canaloplasty.
