Two clinical cases of Syndrome of Axenfeld-Riegel and bilateral glaucoma were described. The first case was a female patient with corectopia, posterior embriotoxon, atrophy of the anterior stroma of the iris, iridocorneal adherences and bilateral glaucoma. To treat her, it was decided to perform trabeculo-traceculectomy in both eyes and as a result, the patient kept intraocular pressure values within the normal limits after one year. The second case was male patient who suffered with blue sclera, microcornea, posterior embrotoxon, partial aniridia, sector atrophies of the iris and bilateral glaucoma. Trabeculo-trabeculectomy of both eyes with posterior decompensation of the left eye was applied. The medical treatment did not yield good results, His left eye was then re-operated and two month afterwards, decompensation occurred again. At present, he is compensated with a new medical treatment.
