Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate long-term outcomes of surgical interventions for unilateral primary congenital and infantile glaucoma.
  • Analyzed patients diagnosed with glaucoma at a mean age of 7.9 months.
  • Performed surgeries including CTT in 55% and TBE in 45% of cases.
  • Conducted follow-up monitoring over an average of 12.3 years.
  • Mean corneal diameter measured was 13.1 mm in affected eyes.
  • C/D ratio significantly decreased from 0.53 to 0.26 after treatment (p = 0.002).
  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduced from 30.1 to 14.7 mmHg, indicating improved eye pressure management.

Abstract

Mean age at the time of diagnosis was 7.9 months, with 85% diagnosed before 6 months; mean period of follow-up monitoring was 12.3 years. CTT was performed in 55% and TBE in 45% of patients, with mean age at the time of surgery of 10 months. All eyes presented with buphthalmos and Haab's striae; mean corneal diameter was 13.1 mm. The C/D ratio decreased from 0.53 to 0.26 (p = 0.002) and IOP from 30.1 to 14.7 mmHg (p.
