Childhood glaucoma

Initial surgery is indicated in nearly all cases of primary congenital glaucoma. Medical treatment is usually neither effective nor practicable in the long term. Medications, including oral CAIs, can be used while a decision is made on a surgical approach and in case of failed surgery, while preparing for further options.
