Abstract
Authors analyze the results of examination of 33 children with congenital glaucoma in the age from 3 till 17 years old. Two groups were sorted out. Children of the first group were treated with 0.5 % timolol maleat, the minimal duration of treatment was 6 months (6 months–7 years). The second group included patients with congenital glaucoma without conservative treatment. The control group included 226 healthy children in the age from 3 till 17 years old without complaints and symptoms of dry eye. The decrease of tear break-up time was revealed in all children with congenital glaucoma. In patients receiving β-blocking treatment the decrease of basal tear secretion was also detected.
