Question

What symptoms might a newborn have with congenital glaucoma? What are the potential impacts when severe?

Answer

Congenital glaucoma in newborns may present symptoms such as corneal edema, photophobia, and excessive tearing. In severe cases, it can lead to permanent vision damage, even blindness. Early detection and surgical treatment are key to preventing blindness. During the treatment period, the child should rest in bed, avoid severe physical activities, and maintain a cheerful mood to reduce stress.
