Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that deep sclerectomy in congenital glaucoma is a safer procedure and may yield better results than trabeculotomy trabeculectomy approach.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Congenital Glaucoma Procedure: Deep Sclerectomy Procedure: Combined Trab Phase 1

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.
