Pediatric Glaucoma
Glaucoma in children, also referred to as congenital glaucoma, is rare condition of the eye that leads to damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve carries the information from the eye to the brain. Damage to the nerve is due to increased fluid pressures within (intraocular) the eye caused by the abnormal development of the eye’s drainage system.
