Risk factors for blindness in children with primary congenital glaucoma – Follow-up of a registry cohort

American Journal of Ophthalmology Dec 24, 2020

Alshigari R, Freidi A, Souru C, et al. - In this retrospective clinical cohort study, researchers sought to assess the baseline characteristics associated with blindness, defined as a best-corrected visual acuity of 3/60 (20/400) or worse in the better eye at final follow-up, in a cohort of children with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) from a hospital registry. Participants in the study were 196 children with a mean age of 9.54 ± 22.44 months at presentation. Corneal clouding is a predictor of potential blindness in PCG children. More aggressive intraocular pressure control, closer follow-up and earlier counselling may be necessary for children with severe corneal clouding.
