Abstract
Purpose. To reveal the features of diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma in a group of young patients. Material and methods. Complex ophthalmological examination of 10 young patients diagnosed with glaucoma. Among them, three are on conservative treatment, the rest underwent non-penetrating deep sclerectomy with Xenoplast drainage implantation. Results. Patients who have undergone surgical treatment, especially in the early stages of glaucoma, are able to stabilize the pathological process, while maintaining visual functions at a high level. In an unoperated patient with myopia and nNDST, on maximum antihypertensive therapy, a negative trend was noted according to OCT. In the only case, a patient with emmetropia has stable indicators for several years on drug treatment (prostaglandin analogues). Conclusion. Timely diagnosis and implementation of nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy in the early stages are the main links in the successful treatment of young glaucoma. Patients with axial myopia and glaucoma should be evaluated cardiologically and orthopedically for signs of connective tissue damage. Undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia may be the pathophysiological basis of the glaucoma process. Key words: glaucoma of a young age, inherited disorders of connective tissue, juvenile glaucoma
