“…The classification of simple glaucoma is permitted only when the irido-corneal angles are open and free from a) maldevelopmental signs at the angle and b) secondary changes such as exfoliation phenomenon, excessive pigmentation, and postuveitic synechiae. According to the criteria described by Jerndal (1970) by using a meticulous gonioscopy with high magnification and narrow slit, angle maldevelopment (goniodysgenesis) was found in 185 eyes, and these eyes were therefore classified as late congenital glaucoma. With a less accurate gonioscopic technique these cases would probably have been classified as simple glaucoma.…”

“…Some studies suggested that juvenile glaucoma may need primary surgical treatment 24,25. However, since JOAG has also been postulated to be a subset of adult POAG with an earlier age of onset, it may be possible to give these patients a trial of medical therapy 26.…”

“…What was interesting was that greater bilaterality was seen among younger patients, whereas those with a unilateral optic neuropathy in our study were older in age. The pathogenesis of raised IOP in JOAG is ascribed to a goniodysgenesis involving lack of maturity of trabecular meshwork and thickened trabecular beams 17,18 . It is reported that developmental abnormalities of the angle tend to be less obvious as the age of onset increases 19 .…”
