Abstract

An overview about the classification, diagnostic and therapy of congenital glaucomas is given. Tonometry, gonioscopy, corneal diameter measurements, oculometry and the evaluation of the optic disc are the main diagnostic criteria. Goniotomy is the operation of choice. The technique of goniotomy and their modifications leading to cyclodialysis ab interno are described. Own long-term results of goniotomy are finally demonstrated.
