Treatment is both medical and surgical.|HPO2016_07_04:Buphthalmos refers to a congenital open-angle glaucoma of the eye. The term buphthalmos (from Greek 'bous' or ox and 'ophthalmos' or eye) is descriptive of an enlarged eyeglobe resulting from increased intraocular pressure. The eyeglobe is especially prone to distension in newborns and infants because its collagen filaments are not as rigid as in adults and may easily be stretched. [HPO:probinson]
