Question
How should pediatric glaucoma be treated?
Answer
Pediatric glaucoma mainly refers to acquired glaucoma, which includes both primary acquired glaucoma and developmental glaucoma associated with congenital anomalies. Surgical treatment options are available, such as trabeculectomy, iridectomy, trabeculectomy, aqueous shunt devices, and ciliary body ablation. For early-stage glaucoma with clear corneas, trabeculectomy is commonly performed. If the cornea is not clear, trabeculectomy may be chosen.
