AI Article Synopsis
- The study assessed changes in the optic discs of two patients with developmental glaucoma before and after undergoing trabeculotomy using the Heidelberg retina tomograph.
- Results showed significant improvement in topographic parameters of the optic discs compared to similar adult cases from past research.
- This positive change is believed to be due to the greater elasticity of the optic disc's histologic structure in younger patients.
Article Abstract
Changes in the optic discs before and after trabeculotomy were evaluated with the Heidelberg retina tomograph (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany) in two patients with developmental glaucoma. The topographic parameters of each optic disc improved considerably compared with adult patients in previous reports. This improvement may have been the result of the elasticity of the histologic structure of the optic disc in younger patients.
