Glaucoma is presumed to be a complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors, and it is also one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Glaucoma is divided into two major forms: primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).

Surgical Technique for Advanced Juvenile Glaucoma
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1984The main causes of drainage operation failure are early hypotonia, blockage of the surgical opening, and excessive bleb scarring. By using draining implants, inserted in two stages, together with the temporary administration of medication to control bleb fibrosis, the surgeon can circumvent these causes of failure and drain the most severe and complex ...

Advances in Pediatric Glaucoma
Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1997Pediatric glaucoma encompasses a group of diseases which, if untreated, can lead to blindness at an early age. Unlike adult glaucoma, the treatment of pediatric glaucoma is generally surgical. Primary congenital (infantile) glaucoma usually responds well to goni-otomy or trabeculotomy surgery. However other forms of pediatric glaucoma frequently do not
