Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) occurs worldwide and has a broad range of ocular manifestations. It poses a therapeutic challenge to the ophthalmologist. A proper diagnostic evaluation under anesthesia is advisable for all children who do not cooperate for an office examination. Medical therapy only serves as a supportive role, and surgical intervention remains the principal therapeutic modality. Angle incision surgery such as goniotomy or trabeculotomy ab externo is the preferred choice of surgery in the Caucasian population. Primary combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with or without antifibrotic therapy is the preferred choice in certain regions such as India and the Middle East where the disease usually presents with severe forms of corneal edema along with megalocornea. In refractory cases, trabeculectomy with antifibrotic therapy or glaucoma drainage devices are available options in the armamentarium. Cycloablative procedures should be reserved for eyes with poor visual potential. Myopia is common among children with PCG, and appropriate optical refractive correction in the form of glasses or contact lenses should be provided. Amblyopia therapy should be instituted to ensure overall visual development in the early developmental years. Low-vision rehabilitation services should be provided to children with vision impairment. Long-term follow-up is mandatory and carers of children with PCG should be counseled and educated about this need. Regardless of the visual outcomes, clinicians should emphasize the need for education of these children during the clinic visit. The overall goal of the management should be to improve the overall quality of life of the children with PCG and their carers.

We report the adjuvant role of oral doxycycline therapy for the management of early bleb leaks post mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. Two glaucoma patients, who underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, presented with a low intraocular pressure (IOP) in the early postoperative period. Both patients had moderately elevated bleb with Seidel\'s positive test. Oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily was given for 1 week in addition to routine postoperative management. Post doxycycline therapy at 1 week, healing of the wound was noted, with a negative Seidel\'s test. The IOP was maintained at 3 months postoperatively in both patients.

The aim of the case series is to highlight the surgical challenges experienced like failed intervention, choroidal effusion, a postoperative cystoid macular oedema, and describe treatment options for Radius-Maumenee syndrome. Authors reported on 3 bilateral cases of Radius-Maumenee syndrome which underwent medical treatment, trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C, implantation with XEN45, Ahmed glaucoma valve, Baerveldt glaucoma implant, and cyclophotocoagulation.

UNASSIGNED: To compare the safety, efficacy, and outcome measures of a single-site, mitomycin C (MMC)-augmented trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification (PT) versus manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) with the posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation as a primary surgery in the patients with primary glaucoma coexistent with cataract.
UNASSIGNED: From April 2015 to August 2017, medical records of all the patients who underwent combined cataract surgery with PCIOL and MMC augmented trabeculectomy were reviewed. One hundred and thirty-seven eyes met the inclusion criteria. Ninety-seven eyes which underwent PT with MMC were compared with forty eyes that underwent MSICS combined with trabeculectomy (MSICST) MMC. Outcome measures were best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and number of anti-glaucoma medications (AGM). Complications, if any, were noted in both the groups.
UNASSIGNED: The mean follow-up period after surgery was 18.6 ± 7.7 months (range, 12-40 months). At the last follow-up visit, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups, in terms of mean logMAR BCVA (PT: 0.22 ± 0.31, MSICST: 0.21 ± 0.33, P = 0.8), mean IOP reduction (PT: 13.9 ± 2.98 mmHg, MSICST: 14.1 ± 4.12 mmHg, P = 0.8), and mean number of AGM (PT: 0.03 ± 0.8, MSICST: 0.025 ± 0.7, P = 0.8). Complications were few and transient. One eye in the PT group was considered as a failure and had to undergo needling, repeat trabeculectomy, and later, cyclodestructive procedure. None of the eyes in the MSICST group required an additional procedure for IOP reduction.
UNASSIGNED: There was no difference in the mean IOP reduction, BCVA, and mean number of AGM between the two procedures, and both appeared to be safe and effective techniques as a primary surgery in the patients with coexistent cataract and glaucoma.
