Özet
Nanophthalmos is an uncommon, bilateral and developmental ocular disease and is usually genetic. The patients may experience serious ocular problems such as glaucoma and uveal effusion syndrome, especially in the third–fi fth decades of their lives. Surgical management of glaucoma in patients with nanophthalmos is quite diffi cult. Serious complications can occur during or after the glaucoma surgery in patients with nanophthalmic eyes. In this study, the clinical and therapeutic approaches of glaucoma-nanophthalmos will be reviewed in the light of the literature
