[Long-term prognosis in primary glaucoma in childhood]. 1985

H Busse, and P Kroll, and H W Meyer-Rüsenberg

The authors report on long-term observations of patients who underwent surgery for congenital glaucoma between 1961 and 1976. It was possible to perform follow-up examinations in 46 out of 100 patients. In 66 out of 73 eyes (90%), intraocular pressure was regulated to below 22 mm Hg appl. after periods ranging from 5 to 22 years, in 16 eyes with additional local treatment with beta-blockers. Over 60% of the cases had central vision better than 0.4, and only 2 of the patients had to be educated in special schools. All of the others were at least capable of attending elementary school and 50 percent of them were even able to go on to higher schools.
