Childhood Glaucoma

This volume presents the ninth World Glaucoma Association Consensus on childhood glaucoma, providing a global expert perspective on the diagnosis and management of this challenging condition. Childhood glaucoma remains an area with limited high-level evidence, and care is often provided by both pediatric ophthalmologists and glaucoma specialists, either independently or collaboratively. The consensus, developed by leading authorities at a 2013 meeting in Vancouver, combines published literature with expert opinion to offer practical guidance for clinicians. It identifies best practices for diagnosis and treatment, highlights areas with insufficient evidence, and establishes a foundation for future research, serving as a benchmark for understanding and improving care in childhood glaucoma.
