OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long term effect of extratrabeculotomy on congenital glaucoma. METHODS: The curative effect in 49 eyes of 29 cases with congenital glaucoma, which underwent extratrabeculotomy in the same hospital in the last 25 years, were studied retrospectively. The average time post-operation was 92 months. The intraocular pressure and corneal diameter were recorded. RESULTS: The final intraocular pressure in 45 of 49 eyes (91.84%) was less than 21 mmHg. The mean postoperative IOP was 16.84 ± 4.11 mmHg. No serious complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that treating congenital glaucoma by extratrabeculotomy can control its progression and attain a long-term satisfactory effectiveness. LA: Chinese
