Abstract: 【Abstract】As one of the most common irreversible eye diseases, pediatric glaucoma is an important cause of blindness and low vision in children. Due to the longer life expectancy, pediatric glaucoma must be a heavy burden for individuals and society. Recently, domestic and international studies found that congenital glaucoma was the most common subtype of pediatric glaucoma. What is more, there are gender differences and high operation rate in pediatric glaucoma. The incidence and proportion of subtypes was different affected by race, economy and health conditions. These epidemiologic data can help us on early diagnosis and treatment, and preventing further visual loss. (Int Rev Ophthalmol, 2012, 36: 407-410）
