Abstract:
The secondary childhood glaucomas are a heterogenous group, often associated with other ocular or systemic abnormalities. These childhood glaucomas are distinct from primary childhood glaucomas, both in terms of their clinical features and their response to conventional treatment. Surgical management can be challenging in children with secondary glaucoma. On average, this group undergo more surgical procedures and revisions than those with primary congenital glaucoma. We provide a synopsis of secondary childhood glaucomas in terms of classification, clinical features, and management strategies, with emphasis on recent developments.
