As in the case of cataract, the vision that the child will eventually maintain depends on the degree of amblyopia, especially if the glaucoma is contralateral.
As in the case of cataract, the vision that the child will eventually maintain depends on the degree of amblyopia, especially if the glaucoma is contralateral.
The prognosis of children with glaucoma depends on many parameters, such as whether glaucoma was congenital (present at birth) how delayed it was diagnosed, how effective was the regulation of pressure after the diagnosis etc.
The damage of the optic nerve glaucoma is irreversible and the prolonged increase of intraocular pressure can lead to reduction of the visual field and poor vision. On the other hand, an early diagnosis and effective treatment can lead to a nearly normal vision.
