Abstract

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to minimize the degree of visual impairment in pediatric glaucoma patients. While numerous advances have decreased the frequency with which examination under anesthesia (EUA) in the operating room is required in the care of a particular child with glaucoma, the EUA nonetheless remains important in providing optimal care for children with glaucoma to augment those examination details that may not be easily obtained in the clinic. An EUA is hence often required to diagnose, to assess the severity and presence of progression, to initiate treatment, and to help determine the exact surgical strategy in complex cases or after initial medical treatment has failed to control the glaucoma.
