Abstract

The pediatric glaucomas present some of the greatest clinical challenges. Uveitic glaucoma is a pathology whose causes and treatment are still a great enigma to all glaucoma specialists. We describe the spectrum of pediatric uveitic glaucoma along with its risk factors and the outcome of treatment in this subgroup. Our paper aims to review the existing literature on the subject and throw light on how to manage these cases. How to cite this article: Kaur S, Kaushik S, Pandav SS. Pediatric Uveitic Glaucoma.
