Results of pathogenetical surgical treatment of congenital glaucoma were analyzed in late periods after surgery, from 1 to 17 years, in 105 patients (171 eyes). Ophthalmic tone normalization was attained in 87.5% of cases. High vision acuity was retained in 57.7% of cases. The principal causes of reduced central vision in process stabilization were astigmatism in 61.7%, amblyopia in 71.5%, strabismus in 59%, anisometropia in 22.8%. To improve vision acuity computer-aided pleoptic treatment was carried out in the postoperative period in 42 children (76 eyes). The efficacy of the method was 84.2%.
