Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ab-interno canaloplasty (ABiC) for managing intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients following keratoplasty over a three-year period.

Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on post-keratoplasty patients treated with ABiC with the iTrack microcatheter (Nova Eye Medical, Fremont, CA, USA) at a single institution. The study assessed the procedure's impact on IOP control, graft survival, and reliance on topical hypotensive medications, with additional observation for any postoperative complications.
