Congenital glaucoma describes severe malformation of the aqueous drainage tracts, which are both hereditary & congenital (ie present at birth). As a result, affected animals display severe, bilateral, ocular pathology, very early in life (generally within weeks to months).
generally not possible and typically, a (bilateral) surgical procedure of comfort is ultimately required (enucleation, cryoablation, intrascleral prosthesis or chemical ciliary body ablation).
