Summary: Juvenile glaucoma constitutes of 0.32–0.7% of all glaucoma cases and between the age of 10 and 35. It is classified as a type of primary open juvenile glaucoma (POJG). Its symptoms are non-characteristic, which makes it difficult to diagnose. Juvenile glaucoma is especially difficult to diagnose in patients with myopia. Intraocular pressure measured before the treatment is often greater than 21 mmHg. The etiology is unknown. Family history is an essential risk factor of the juvenile glaucoma. It is genetically determined in 20% of the total number of cases.
In the paper the use of: pachymetry, gonioscopy, perimetry, intraocular pressure, optic nerve head, retinal fiber layer and blood flow examinations that are recommended by the European Glaucoma Society (EGS) in the diagnosis of juvenile glaucoma in myopia is evaluated.
