What is Congenital Glaucoma

Glaucoma is essentially a disease of the elderly, however there are rare instances in which it can affect other age groups, like congenital glaucoma which is a rare occurrence in newborns. Another age group, in which glaucoma does occur, though rarely, is a young population starting from older children to the age of 40. This is what is usually called juvenile glaucoma. Similar to glaucoma in the infant or congenital glaucoma, glaucoma in young adults is caused by mal-ormation of the angle of the eye. Glaucoma in young adults can also result from some other eye diseases like inflammation or trauma.
