This book is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of childhood glaucoma, encompassing both its clinical and surgical dimensions. Spanning 28 chapters, this work is the collective effort of esteemed international authors, delving into a spectrum of topics from fundamental classification, diagnosis, and genetics, to the intricacies of surgical intervention. The sections dedicated to surgical techniques present a visual, sequential manual to various glaucoma surgeries, complete with practical advice to enhance the proficiency of both novices and seasoned surgeons. The reader is acquainted with basic surgical procedures, as well as updates such as circumferential angle surgeries, novel glaucoma shunts, and the role of Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) in the treatment of children. Moreover, the book addresses the management of concurrent conditions often seen with childhood glaucoma, like corneal pathologies, lens anomalies, amblyopia, and strabismus, providing a holistic approach to patient care. The concluding section provides insights into the psychosocial and economic challenges pertinent to this complex condition, enriching readers with a deeper understanding of its extensive impact. Childhood Glaucoma: Current Trends and Future Prospects is a must-have resource for trainees and expert surgeons alike, with each chapter enriched with high-quality images and illustrations.
