pediatric glaucoma guidelines

Pediatric glaucoma guidelines recommend early detection and regular eye exams for children at risk to prevent vision loss. If diagnosed, treatment options include medications, eye drops, or surgery to reduce eye pressure, which can damage the optic nerve. The goal is to manage the condition effectively, monitor eye health closely, and ensure proper visual development. Regular follow-up is essential to adjust treatments as needed and prevent permanent vision damage. Early intervention is key for the best outcomes in managing pediatric glaucoma.
