FAQs / Is It Possible for a Patient to Undergo Canaloplasty After a Number of Cataract Surgeries?

ANSWER:

In general canaloplasty can be performed on those with “uneventful” cataract surgery. Indeed, I have found it easier to perform canaloplasty after the cataract has been removed. Incorrectly placed lens could indicate that there were difficulties encountered during surgery that could have resulted in scarring over the canal. Unfortunately, the only way to tell if this has occurred is to exam the canal under the microscope.
