New alternatives are presently available to improve the success of the various surgical techniques for childhood glaucoma, a condition requiring timely treatment aimed at intraocular pressure control and quick rehabilitation of these patients, considering that many of them are in full visual development. Hence the importance of conducting a review of the main surgical techniques used for childhood glaucoma.
