Abstract

Canaloplasty is a non-penetrating glaucoma surgery used to treat patients with open-angle glaucoma. It was developed as an alternative method to traditional glaucoma surgery and is one of the recent techniques of non-penetrating glaucoma surgery. Studies have shown its efficacy and safety in the reduction of intraocular pressure, having a lower rate of intraoperative and post-operative complications compared to trabeculectomy. A combination of canaloplasty with phacoemulsification represents a good option for patients with concomitant cataract. Canaloplasty appears to be a good alternative for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.
