    Goniotomy surgery effectively normalized intraocular pressure in 91% of congenital glaucoma cases. Success rates were higher when initial eye pressure was below 40 mmHg, indicating goniotomy

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Context:

    • Congenital glaucoma is a rare but serious condition.
    • Surgical intervention is often necessary to manage elevated intraocular pressure.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of goniotomy in treating congenital glaucoma.
    • To determine factors influencing surgical success.

    Summary:

    • Goniotomy was performed on sixty eyes with congenital glaucoma, with follow-up ranging from 1 to 30 years.
    • Intraocular pressure normalized in 91% of cases, with some requiring additional medical or surgical treatment.
    • Success rates were significantly higher when preoperative intraocular pressure was below 40 mmHg.

    Impact:

    • Goniotomy demonstrates high success rates for congenital glaucoma management.
