Congenital glaucoma in southern Türkiye: success of combined surgery lasted longer over 5 years
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
At an eye center in southern Türkiye, surgeries for congenital glaucoma (high eye pressure present from birth) were reviewed. Three different surgical methods were compared. Patients were followed for up to 5 years. The surgery combining two methods had longer-lasting success.
What does it mean for patients and families?
In moderate and severe disease, the choice of surgery can affect the outcome. This is a retrospective, single-center study. Your eye doctor will determine the most suitable method.
