Purpose: To report the clinical outcomes of a novel ab interno minimally invasive procedure with the STREAMLINE Surgical System for creation of incisional goniotomies and canaloplasty in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: In a retrospective analysis of all consecutive cases performed and followed for up to 12 months, 51 eyes of 51 subjects with mild, moderate, and severe primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) underwent canaloplasty and incisional goniotomy following phacoemulsification cataract extraction. The procedure was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions for use.
