Abstract
The operative results obtained in 45 eyes suffering from congenital glaucoma, primarily operated on using micro-surgical techniques, either goniotomy as described by Worst, or trabeculotomy, were presented. Of the 45 eyes, 38 had, during an observation period of 1-10 yr, average 5.5 yr, a normal pressure of .ltoreq. 18 mm Hg measured using Draeger''s technique. A relatively high frequency of recurrence was found following an average observation period of 3.5 yr in patients who were primarily normalized by Worst''s goniotomy.Keywords
