Although surgery is the main treatment of the congenital glaucoma, pharmacotherapy is essential complement of it.

Assuming the long-lasting use of anti-glaucoma drugs in children and its adverse effects, before starting the treatment the significant element become to analyze the health state of infants including coexisting diseases.
