Abstract
PURPOSE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trabeculotomy in the treatment of pediatric uveitic glaucoma (UG).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed all cases that underwent trabeculotomy for pediatric UG at our center between 2008 and 2014. Up to 2 trabeculotomies per eye were performed in patients with medically controlled uveitis. Surgical success was defined as final intraocular pressure 0.05) and there were no major complications.
CONCLUSIONS
Trabeculotomy is a safe and effective surgery for pediatric UG.
