Abstract | Pediatric glaucoma is a constellation of challenging ophthalmic conditions that, left untreated, can result in irreversible vision loss. The mainstay of treatment for primary congenital glaucoma and select secondary glaucoma subtypes is angle surgery, either trabeculotomy or goniotomy. More recently, MIGS devices have been utilized to enhance the efficacy of these procedures. Despite the high success rates of these primary surgical options, refractory cases are challenging to manage. There is no consensus on the next step of treatment following primary angle surgery. Glaucoma drainage devices and trabeculectomies have been the traditional options, with laser treatment reserved for more severe cases. The benefits and disadvantages of each of these options are discussed. |
