How to treat hereditary glaucoma?

First, it is generally believed that congenital glaucoma is suitable for surgical treatment, and it is not sensitive to mydriasis drugs, so drug treatment is difficult to be effective. Before surgery, it is often necessary to apply carteolol hydrochloride, timolol, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors and prostaglandins, which can reduce intraocular pressure and corneal edema.

Second: congenital glaucoma generally requires surgery to control intraocular pressure. Because most of the antihypertensive drugs have different degrees of systemic side effects, drug therapy is only used as a temporary antihypertensive measure before surgery or local application after surgery to achieve a satisfactory level of intraocular pressure.

Third: the main surgical methods are goniotomy and trabeculotomy or trabeculectomy, more than 80% of patients with intraocular pressure can be controlled. Trabeculotomy is a reasonable choice for the treatment of congenital glaucoma. Although the purpose of goniotomy is to cut the pathological membrane of the trabecular, it may also cut the trabecular, which also has the effect of reducing intraocular pressure.
