Netarsudil in the management of refractory pediatric glaucoma
Wang B; Zimmermann CM; Kraus CLJournal of AAPOS 2023; 27: 296-298
We performed a retrospective review of patients with refractory pediatric glaucoma who were started on netarsudil at the Wilmer Eye Institute. We found minimally sustained IOP lowering over a 6-month period in 29 eyes of 23 patients. Our results suggest that although netarsudil is an alternative medication in the management of pediatric glaucoma, its efficacy may be limited in refractory pediatric glaucoma patients. In addition, careful cornea examination is required to evaluate for signs of corneal decompensation, especially in patient with preexisting cornea disease.
