    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Glaucoma Research

    Background:

    • Congenital glaucoma is a rare but serious condition affecting infants.
    • Early surgical intervention is crucial for preserving vision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term operative results of micro-surgical techniques for congenital glaucoma.
    • To compare the efficacy of goniotomy and trabeculotomy in managing congenital glaucoma.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective survey of 45 eyes with congenital glaucoma.
    • Primary surgical intervention using either Worst's goniotomy or trabeculotomy.
    • Intraocular pressure monitoring using Draeger's technique over 1-10 years.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 38 out of 45 eyes (84.4%) achieved normal intraocular pressure (≤18 mmHg).
    • The average follow-up period was 5.5 years.
    • Worst's goniotomy showed a higher recurrence rate after an average of 3.5 years compared to trabeculotomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Micro-surgical techniques, including goniotomy and trabeculotomy, are effective in managing congenital glaucoma.
    • Trabeculotomy may offer more sustained pressure normalization than Worst's goniotomy.
    • Long-term monitoring is essential for detecting recurrence in congenital glaucoma patients.
