Overview
Buphthalmos is a congenital condition of the eye. An abnormally narrow angle between the cornea and iris blocks the outflow of aqueous humor, which leads to an increased intraocular pressure and a characteristic bulging enlargement of the eyeball. Other clinical signs include excessive tearing and cupping of the optic disk, which may the first sign to develop.
Treatment
Treatment involves surgically opening a hole in the iris to allow flow of aqueous humor, thus relieving the pressure in the posterior chamber of the eye. Early treatment is critical for preserving vision.
