Hi. I am so sorry for the delay in getting back to this ticket. I am adding these terms now, but MAxO is definitely in need help in the ophthalmology area.

We do not have (but will include) sclerectomy, deep sclerectomy and canaloplasty. Please let us know if there are additional terms needed.

Thank you very much! Yes, I will add more terms, the ones you mentioned and others too.
