Possibly: There are a number of causes for congenital glaucoma. Depending on what the underlying problem is, there indeed may be treatment. It is very important to get a pediatric opthalmologist involved asap as they can guide both diagnosis and treatment. Every day you delay puts your child's vision at more risk.

No cure : Unfortunately there is no cure for congenital glaucoma, or any glaucoma for that matter. However there is treatment that could be in the form of either drops, medications, or surgery that can greatly help reduce high eye pressure and preserve vision.
