Can trabectome surgery be performed on an eye which has a shunt
in it?

Will the shunt tube physically obstruct use of the trabectome
instrument?

Is bleeding from the trabectome surgery liable to plug the shunt?

Thanks,
John

I was wondering if you already went ahead with the trabectome
procedure. Where are you going to have the procedure?  I'm
contemplating on the procedure as well.

I have no near future plans for a trabectome and no knowledge of
particular surgeons who are doing it.
