Step 1: Scleral Incision
Create a 1.7 mm clear corneal incision with Keratome.
Step 2: Visco-elastic

Step 3: Goniolens Placement
•
Place Goniolens on cornea and verify angle view.
•
Remove Goniolens and insert tip past the irrigation ports.
•
Replace Goniolens and activate continuous irrigation.
•
Advance tip across anterior chamber under direct view.
Step 4: Ablation
•
Insert tip into Schlemm’s canal anterior to the scleral spur in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
•
Depress the foot pedal to activate aspiration and ablation, while advancing the instrument within Schlemm’s canal.
•
Ablate the trabecular meshwork for approximately one-to-two clock hours (30°-60°).
Step 5: Rotate Tip
Dis-insert tip from Schlemm’s canal and rotate instrument tip toward iris.
Step 6: Ablation
Re-insert tip in the opposite direction from the initial ablation and remove a similar arc in opposite direction.
