XXIV. SCF LAYMAN’S SUMMARY
Congenital glaucoma is a rare eye disorder present at birth or early infancy in which the eye’s fluid drainage system does not develop properly. This causes pressure to build up inside the eye, damaging the optic nerve and impairing vision. Children may develop enlarged eyes, cloudy corneas, tearing, light sensitivity, and progressive vision loss. SCF interprets congenital glaucoma as a systems-level ocular communication disorder involving aqueous-outflow dysfunction, pressure dysregulation, oxidative injury, optic neurodegeneration, and collapse of synchronized neurovisual regulatory systems.
