The proposed study is a prospective randomized controlled and multicentric trial comparing microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy (MCAT) with conventional probe trabeculotomy in childhood glaucoma treatment comprising a higher sample size than previous studies. Up-to-date, there are only two such trials, one from Egypt and one from India. The novel aspect of the proposed trial is that this is the first prospective European study including a reasonably high number of patients with a broader age range from birth up to twelve years. It is an important contribution to prevention of blindness by finding the best surgical methods to treat childhood glaucoma.

本研究是一项前瞻性、随机对照、多中心试验，比较了微导管辅助小梁切开术（MCAT）与传统探头小梁切开术治疗儿童青光眼的效果，样本量高于既往研究。迄今为止，只有两个这样的试验，一个在埃及，一个在印度。拟议试验的新颖之处在于，这是第一项前瞻性欧洲研究，包括相当多的患者，年龄范围从出生到12岁。寻找治疗儿童青光眼的最佳手术方法是对预防失明的重要贡献。
