Preoperative predictive thresholds for successful canaloplasty in glaucoma patients
In patients with preoperative IOPs of ≤ 36.9 mmHg or 27.1 mmHg, canaloplasty is likely to be an effective and safe procedure to obtain target pressures ≤ 18 mmHg with or without IOP-lowering eye drops, respectively. These data suggest that preoperative thresholds could help predict postoperative outcomes and improve patient selection for glaucoma surgery.
