FAQs / Is Canaloplasty for All Types of Glaucoma? Can a Patient Stop the Use of Drops After the Surgery?

ANSWER:

1. Canaloplasty is an option for those with open angle glaucoma (the most common type).
2. Most people who have canaloplasty are able to stop some (or even all) of their drops. Most people with glaucoma, however, are able to achieve adequate control through life with only drops (no surgery).
