Pediatric patients with Sturge Weber Syndrome often have glaucoma associated with their condition and require treatment which may involve surgery. Performing this glaucoma seton surgery in a pediatric patient is challenging and comes with higher stakes because if the crystalline lens is damaged it will be replaced with an IOL with total loss of accommodation. Our guest surgeon does a beautiful job of implanting the Paul glaucoma shunt with careful and precise placement of the tube to avoid touching the crystalline lens or iris.
