Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of a new and modified canaloplasty technique with suprachoroidal drainage in a large patient cohort, and to compare its IOP-lowering and topical drug-sparing effect to that of conventional canaloplasty. This retrospective clinical trial included patients with open-angle glaucoma or secondary forms of glaucoma who underwent either conventional canaloplasty or canaloplasty with suprachoroidal drainage. Primary endpoint was the IOP reduction after 12 months as well as the number of IOP-lowering medications. Secondary endpoints were intra- and postoperative complications and the occurrence of secondary surgical interventions. Four hundred and seventeen eyes were included in the study; 180 of them were treated with conventional canaloplasty, and 237 eyes underwent canaloplasty with suprachoroidal drainage. In both groups, a significant IOP reduction could be observed after 12 months. Mean IOP reduction was stronger after canaloplasty with suprachoroidal drainage (35.9 %) (from baseline 20.9 ± 3.5 mmHg to 13.1 ± 2.5 mmHg) than after conventional canaloplasty (31.2 %) (from baseline 20.8 ± 3.6 mmHg to 14.0 ± 2.6 mmHg) (p
