Epidemiological analysis of congenital glaucoma: a national scenario

Abstract

The patient commonly exhibits symptoms such as excessive tearing, involuntary eyelid spasms, and sensitivity to light. Furthermore, manifestations such as corneal edema and opacity, excavation of the optical disk, and abnormal expansion in the size of the eyeball can also be observed. The clinical assessment necessitates the performance of many tests, including ophthalmoscopy, tonometry, gonioscopy, and pachymetry. These procedures are crucial for both the diagnosis and monitoring of this particular condition 4,8-10 .
