Interestingly enough, this is something that was just presented at a conference a month ago and I do you think this is the most promising of the minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries and its FDA approved and it's essentially Canaloplasty but with a really elegant twist. Whereas Canaloplasty in the traditional method that it's been performed using Dr. Stegmann's approach, requires making an external incision (a flap) and is a very long tedious surgery. And one of the reasons why it's not taken off (even though it works as well as it does). It's not taken off because it just takes too long to do. Ab-Interno Canaloplasty or minimally invasive Canaloplasty surgery, does all of the things that Canaloplasty does with the exception of leaving the prolene suture in the canal. So you get Trabecular Meshwork treated - an openings created with ab-interno. Schlemm's canal is dilated. Collector channel systems are also re-opened. You get better aqueous outflow and for those who are worried about leaving things in the eye, even if it's just a prolene suture (and I do have patients who don't want the prolene suture) I'' say, "I think it works better if you stent it open", and they say, "I don't want it in the eye. I want nothing in the eye." This is going to be a really great option.
