Patients were followed up regarding intra\u2010ocular pressure (IOP<\/jats:styled-content>), cup\/disc (C\/D) ratio and horizontal corneal diameter (HCD<\/jats:styled-content>) for 6\u00a0months. A probability value (p value) <0.05 was considered significant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Twenty\u2010one eyes in group A and 20 eyes in group B were enrolled in the study. The mean preoperative IOP<\/jats:styled-content> was 23.5 and 24.3\u00a0mmHg in the VT<\/jats:styled-content> and T groups, respectively. Postoperatively, IOP<\/jats:styled-content> dropped at six months to 14.7 and 17\u00a0mmHg in the VT<\/jats:styled-content> and T groups, respectively. That was significant in either group when compared to preoperative IOP<\/jats:styled-content>, but not significant between both groups at the same point of comparison.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Both techniques were equally effective in the reduction in IOP<\/jats:styled-content> in the management of congenital glaucoma, but viscotrabeculotomy did not appear to add more benefit to the surgical outcome than classic trabeculotomy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.12634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,5]],"date-time":"2015-01-05T02:34:39Z","timestamp":1420425279000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Is viscotrabeculotomy superior to conventional trabeculotomy in the management of Egyptian infants with congenital glaucoma?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Ola Z.","family":"ElSheikha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology Abo El Reish Kasr Al Ainy Pediatric Hospital Cairo University Cairo Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamad A.
