Anophthalmos Congenital

**Introduction**

Anophthalmos, or congenital glaucoma, is a serious vision disorder characterized by the absence of visual cells in the eye and a subsequent lack of light sensitivity. This can lead to complete blindness and the child needing constant assistance. Treatment for this condition depends on its cause and may include eye surgery, medications, and exercise to strengthen the eye muscles. In this article, we will look at the concept of anophthalmic glaucoma, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, as well as tips for caring for children with this disease.

The absence of these cells leads to a lack of response to light in the eye, which causes decreased vision and
