This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of glaucoma associated with Peters anomaly and glaucoma surgery outcomes. This retrospective study included 31 eyes of 20 patients with Peters anomaly. Peters anomaly was classified into three stages: Stage 1, with a posterior corneal defect only; Stage 2, a corneal defect with iridocorneal adhesion; and Stage 3, a corneal defect with lens abnormalities. The associations between glaucoma and anterior segment dysgenesis severity, visual prognosis, and glaucoma surgery outcomes were analyzed. Sixteen eyes of ten patients developed glaucoma. Stage 1 Peters anomaly had no glaucoma, 52% of Stage 2 had glaucoma, and 75% of Stage 3 had glaucoma. Of the 16 eyes with glaucoma, 11 underwent surgery. Eight of these eleven eyes achieved intraocular pressure (IOP) control. Five of the nine eyes that underwent trabeculotomy (TLO) succeeded, and none had corneal staphyloma. Three of the four eyes for which TLO was ineffective had corneal staphyloma (p = 0.0331). Patients with Peters anomaly are more likely to develop glaucoma as anterior segment dysgenesis progresses, and the effect of TLO is limited if corneal staphyloma is present.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12196238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T01:51:14Z","timestamp":1695865874000},"page":"6238","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Risk and Prognostic Factors for Glaucoma Associated with Peters Anomaly"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1601-4429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chika","family":"Yokota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Federation of National Public Service and Affiliated Personnel Mutual Aid Associations, Yoshijima Hospital, Hiroshima 730-0822, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuyuki","family":"Hirooka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0331-4104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Naoki","family":"Okada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1915-1864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshiaki","family":"Kiuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima 734-8551, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"27","article-title":"Ueber angeborene Decectbildung der Descemetschen Membran","volume":"44","author":"Peters","year":"1906","journal-title":"Klin.
