NEW ORLEANS — Ensuring adequate visualization and using proper pressure and viscoelastic are important aspects of achieving success when performing a goniotomy procedure, according to a speaker here.
“When we’re talking about goniotomy these days, this isn’t our grandparents’ goniotomy,” Leonard K. Seibold, MD, said at Glaucoma Subspecialty Day at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting. “Modern-day goniotomy looks a lot different thanks to some modern-day innovation that allows us to not only incise but excise trabecular meshwork tissue.”
