Congenital glaucoma is a rare eye condition present at birth, characterized by increased intraocular pressure due to improper development of the eye's drainage system. This condition can lead to vision loss and is typically diagnosed in infancy or early childhood. Symptoms may include enlarged eyes, sensitivity to light, and excessive tearing. Early detection and treatment, often involving surgery, are crucial to prevent long-term damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision.
