Procedures

Canaloplasty is an advanced surgical procedure used for patients with open-angle glaucoma, the most common type of glaucoma. It causes the fluid in the eye to drain too slowly through the eye's network of tiny drainage channels, resulting in an increased pressure within the eye. Canaloplasty is a minimally invasive treatment that can substantially reduce eye pressure.

A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye; cataract surgery is performed to improve vision by replacing the clouded lens with an artificial one. Cataracts affect millions of people in the United States each year. Most cataracts are the result of aging, though some form as a result of genetic factors, disease or injury. Cataract surgery is common, and considered safe and effective.

A wide range of replacement lenses are available to cataract patients, each offering different advantages for post-surgery vision. The most effective lens to use depends on the patient's individual preferences and goals for their vision. The lenses eliminate the need for glasses or contacts after cataract surgery, providing most patients with convenient, effective results for their specific vision conditions.
