Summary: The author presents glaucoma conservative treatment in children and adolescents. He draws attention to the issue, that still congenital glaucoma treatment is only a surgical one, however conservative treatment may only play preparatory role for further surgery or become its‘ complementation.
However, congenital and juvenile glaucoma treatment should be implemented according to the gonioscopy result and disease progression. Very important role in the treatment play prostaglandins derivatives administered topically to conjunctival sac. Some novelty is possibility to use one of the latanoprost preparations also in small children.
