Profile of newly diagnosed childhood glaucoma in India: ICGS 1.

Our Study has one of the largest numbers looking at consecutive children with glaucoma classified according to the CGRN classification. Despite a widely diverse population, the profile of childhood glaucoma was relatively uniform across India. Childhood glaucoma is a significant problem in India, primarily treated in tertiary care hospitals. The data presented may be the tip of the iceberg since we have only reported the children who reached the hospitals offering treatment for this challenging disease.
