The goal of this study is to learn about outcomes after bio-reinforced canaloplasty surgery in patients with OAG. The key question the study aims to answer is: How much does the surgical procedure lower pressure inside the eye and what is the durability of this effect? Participants will return for periodic eye exams for 2 years following surgery.
The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate postoperative outcomes in a real-world setting after bio-reinforced canaloplasty in eyes with OAG. Outcomes of interest include change in intraocular pressure (IOP), change in use of glaucoma medications, related adverse events, and surgical reinterventions for additional IOP control. Patients will be approached for study enrollment based on investigator determination that surgical intervention is necessary to maintain target IOP and the patient may benefit from bio-reinforced canaloplasty. After surgery, data will be collected from participant examinations on Day 1 and at approximately 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Examinations at each visit are performed per the investigator's standard of care.

A canaloplasty procedure is performed using AlloSpan Canal manual surgical instrumentation. After canaloplasty, minimally manipulated, homologous-use scleral allograft tissue is placed within in the canal-wall region of the Schlemm's canal lumen to provide structural reinforcement.
