    Summary

    External trabeculotomy is effective for developmental glaucoma, showing higher success rates in congenital cases compared to adolescent glaucoma. Late failure is rare in congenital glaucoma but can occur in adolescent cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Developmental glaucoma presents significant challenges in pediatric eye care.
    • External trabeculotomy is a surgical option for managing glaucoma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of external trabeculotomy in treating developmental glaucoma.
    • To compare the success rates between congenital and adolescent glaucoma subtypes.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 57 external trabeculotomy procedures performed over ten years.
    • Data collected from 29 individuals (47 eyes) with developmental glaucoma.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure demonstrated greater success in congenital glaucoma compared to adolescent glaucoma.
    • Late failure of the procedure was observed to be uncommon in congenital glaucoma cases.

    Conclusions:

    • External trabeculotomy is a viable surgical treatment for developmental glaucoma.
    • Congenital glaucoma shows a more favorable long-term outcome with this procedure than adolescent glaucoma.
