Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: DS arm
Deep sclerectomy surgery will be conduct in this arm
Procedure: Deep Sclerectomy
Non penetrating glaucoma surgery is a new procedure in adults that has less post operative complications with good results, it is to be applied in children.
Other Name: Non penetrating DS
Active Comparator: Trab arm
combined Trabeculectomy and Trabeculotomy surgery will be conducted in this arm
Procedure: Combined Trab
Combined trabeculectomy and trabeculotomy is a standard surgery for congenital glaucoma, however, it has its known complications.
Other Name: Combined Trabeculectomy Trabeculotomy

Detailed Description:

Non penetrating glaucoma surgery depends on filtration through trabeculo-descmeto window as well as supra-choroidal space less to sub-conjunctival rout. the nature of the operation keeps the globe intact without penetration that leads to less complications compared to penetrating trabeculectomy combined with trabeculotomy.
