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.
