Canaloplasty: the Importance of OVD Volume and Pressure

Christine Funke, MD

Show Description +

In this roundtable discussion from the Interventional Glaucoma Consortium (IGC) 2024, Christine Funke, MD, discusses the important role of high-volume, high-pressure delivery of viscoelastic during canaloplasty with the iTrack™ Advance (Nova Eye Medical). Specifically, she addresses the ability of the iTrack™ Advance to optimize the delivery of OVD into the canal via the effect of shear thinning. She also reviews data from the International Glaucoma Surgery Registry (IGSR) that examine the impact of OVD volume on clinical outcomes.
