Zusammenfassung:	Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of viscotrabeculotomy in the management of congenital glaucoma as compared to conventional trabeculotomy, in Egyptian infants. Methods This is a prospective interventional randomized comparative study in which patients with primary congenital glaucoma were randomly allocated to either group A or B; viscotrabeculotomy (VT); and trabeculotomy (T), respectively. Patients were followed up regarding intra‐ocular pressure (IOP), cup/disc (C/D) ratio and horizontal corneal diameter (HCD) for 6 months. A probability value (p value)
