Glaucoma in children.
Glaucoma in children is a relatively rare but frequently debilitating disorder. Pediatricians must be aware of the association of glaucoma with certain systemic diseases and congenital ocular abnormalities. Recognition of the signs of infantile glaucoma allows the physician to refer patients for definitive care. Timely therapy is critical to the successful management of children affected with glaucoma.
