Abstract
Congenital glaucoma is a developmental abnormality accompanied by high intra-ocular pressure since birth. It is potentially blinding and requires an early diagnosis and treatment which is mainly surgical. Among the surgical procedures, trabeculectomy and trabeculotomy can be performed either separately or in combination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of the combined procedure in children.
