Based on the success rates of this retrospective analysis, goniotomy or trabeculotomy for younger and trabeculectomy for older children can be recommended in our setting to reduce IOP. Late presentation in combination with advanced glaucomatous damage as well as erratic postoperative follow-up and treatment were likely factors that compromised overall success rates. More efforts are necessary to detect the blinding disease earlier and improve adherence to follow-up.

“…The etiology of patients' vision impairment is often multifactorial, including amblyopia, optic nerve damage, and other ocular comorbidities. [1][2][3] Recent classification schemes of childhood glaucomas have focused on distinguishing the various pediatric glaucomas by etiology, thereby assisting in the selection of treatment choices specific to the given condition. 4 For instance, primary congenital glaucoma often is treated with anterior segment angle surgery such as goniotomy or trabeculotomy as the first-line management strategy, whereas secondary glaucomas, such as those associated with anterior segment dysgenesis and aphakic glaucoma, may be initially managed medically.…”

“…Only one of the cases was drug induced and was caused by topical corticosteroids (Aponte et al 2010). Because adrenergic drugs stimulate only the iris dilator with no significant effect on ciliary muscle potential increases in IOP due to angle blockage are theoretically more likely to be rapid and symptomatic.…”
