Congenital glaucoma typically emerges in the first few months after birth as a condition that slows down the drainage of fluid within the eye more than normal. This situation leads to an increase in intraocular pressure, and the optic nerve damage caused by this condition can result in vision loss.
Congenital glaucoma can generally be managed successfully with early diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult an eye doctor immediately when eye-related symptoms are noticed in infants. Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital glaucoma can help prevent vision loss and contribute to the healthy eye development of the child.
