Summary
This was a successful, minimally invasive procedure for treatment of childhood glaucoma.
Abstract
PURPOSE
To introduce a technique using the Kahook Dual Blade for treatment of childhood glaucoma.
PATIENT AND METHOD
An infant developed glaucoma after cataract extraction and anterior vitrectomy. Ab interno trabeculectomy was performed in both eyes using a dual-blade device.
RESULTS
