Abstract
Congenital glaucoma is a challenging disease both for ophthalmologists and parents. It is a sight-threatening disease if not diagnosed early and treated in an appropriate way. Present at birth, it may be overlooked by medical practitioners. The only effective treatment is surgery. Witch doctors cannot cure the disease; conversely they compromise the prognosis.
