Do you feel there is benefit to canaloplasty at the time of trabecular meshwork stent insertion in terms of ease of implantation or IOP lowering?

Although there is no high-quality data on this question, I think there is a benefit to canaloplasty when inserting Hydrus; I feel that they go in more smoothly and are less likely to dive into the suprachoroidal space when a viscocanaloplasty has been performed in the region of insertion. I don't think there is necessarily a long-term improvement in IOP lowering, however. As for iStents, I don't think it makes a difference.
