Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the long term effect of extra-trabeculotomy on congenital glaucoma.MethodsThe curative effect in 49 eyes of 29 cases with congenital glaucoma,which underwent extra-trabeculotomy in the same hospital in the last 25 years,were retrospectively studied.The average time of post-operation was 92 months.The intraocular pressure and corneal diameter were recorded.ResultsThe final intraocular pressure in 45 of 49 eyes (91.84%)was less than 21 mmHg.The mean postoperative IOP was (16.84±4.11) mmHg.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion This study showed that treating congenital glaucoma by extra-trabeculotomy can control its progresson and attain a long-term satisfactory effectiveness.
