Abstract
We reviewed 37 consecutive patients who had undergone at least one goniotomy, filtering surgery, and patching for amblyopia because of congenital glaucoma between 1969 and 1979. Of 32 eyes treated for uncomplicated congenital glaucoma, 25 (78%) achieved satisfactory control of intraocular pressure. Seven of the 12 eyes (58%) for which Snellen visual acuities could be obtained had visual acuities of 6/15 (20/50) or better. Of eight eyes treated for complicated congenital glaucoma, four (50%) achieved satisfactory control of intraocular pressure, but the visual acuities of these patients could not be tested.
