What is another word for primary juvenile glaucoma?
Pronunciation: [pɹˈa͡ɪməɹi d͡ʒˈuːvənˌa͡ɪl ɡlɔːkˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Primary juvenile glaucoma, also known as pediatric or childhood glaucoma, is a rare type of glaucoma that affects children aged 0-16 years old. The condition is characterized by increased pressure within the eye, which can lead to irreversible damage to the optic nerve and vision loss. Synonyms for primary juvenile glaucoma include congenital glaucoma, infantile glaucoma, and early-onset glaucoma. This disease can be inherited, so early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent further damage to the eye. Symptoms may include excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, and cloudiness in the cornea. Treatment options may include surgery, eye drops, and regular monitoring by a specialized ophthalmologist.
