📖 Research paper: Long-term data shows that the ab-interno canaloplasty procedure is highly safe and provides sustained IOP control for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma.

Key takeaways for iTrack Advance 👇
1️⃣ Effective in controlling primary open angle and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma
2️⃣ 89% of eyes achieved IOP ≤ 18 mm Hg, while 95% were medication-free compared to none at baseline
3️⃣ Good IOP control achieved when performed either as a standalone procedure or combined with cataract surgery.
