Predicting myopic changes in children wearing glasses using the Plusoptix photoscreener.

INTRODUCTION: With high increase in myopia prevalence, we aimed to assess whether Plusoptix_A09 can be used in myopic children over spectacles to predict visual acuity (VA) and myopic refraction changes. METHODS: Myopic children underwent a complete ophthalmological examination. Plusoptix_A09 was performed over spectacles. VA changes, refraction changes and time since previous glasses prescription, were determined. Age, current or past history of amblyopia, presence of strabismus and self-perception of VA changes were registered. RESULTS: In total, 199 patients were included. Spherical power…

Visual Outcomes of Children With Craniosynostosis.

Craniosynostosis can impact the visual development of a child. Historically, children with craniosynostosis, particularly when associated wi … g, none of whom had optic atrophy. Two children did not meet UK driving standards due to refractive amblyopia; no children were registered as sight impaired. In this cohort, optic atrophy and visual loss due to exposure keratopathy were not seen. A high incidence of strabismus, glasses wear, and amblyopia is persistent. Binocular visual impairment was rare …

Clinical Features and Outcomes of Congenital Cataract Surgery with Primary Intraocular Lens Implantation in a Tunisian Cohort.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical features of congenital cataract (CC) in a Tunisian cohort and to assess the surgical outcomes of primary i … and time of surgery (P = 0.001), preoperative nystagmus (P = 0.02), and poor parental compliance to amblyopia treatment (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Primary implantation seems to be safe and efficient. VAO appears to become an avoidable occurrence owing to better surgical techniques. Amblyopia remains the biggest barrier to final visual outcome.

Visual acuity measurement, limited to fixation-preference testing in most patients, revealed amblyopia in the operated eye in the majority of cases. Postoperative refractive error, predicted using the Holladay formula, showed a mean error in prediction of 1.5 diopters (D) (range -1.8 to 4.1 D). Serial axial lengths in 11 patients with a mean follow-u …

All about traumatic cataracts: narrative review.

Ocular trauma is an important cause of monocular blindness worldwide. Injury to the lens after blunt or penetrating trauma is common and can result in vision impairment. Selecting the most appropriate therapeutic approaches depends on factors such as patients' age, mechanism of trauma, and underlying clinical conditions. Early management, especially within childhood, is essential because of the difficulties involved in examination; anatomical variations; as well as accompanying intraocular inflammation, amblyopia, or vitreoretinal adhesions. The objective of this study was to provide a compreh…

Congenital glycosylation disorder: a novel presentation of coexisting anterior and posterior segment pathology and its implications in pediatric cataract management.

We report a case exhibiting the coexistence of anterior and posterior segment pathology in the same eye secondary to a congenital disorder of glycosylation resulting from a DPAGT1 gene mutation. This case details a novel gene mutation in a male infant found to have bilateral congenital cataracts, removed at 6 and 7 weeks of life, only to uncover bilateral retinal and optic atrophy. Our report highlights issues of surgical timing for syndrome-related pediatric cataracts, given the risks related to secondary glaucoma versus deprivation amblyopia, in an infant born with both cataracts and vision-…

Surgical technique for management of isolated lenticular coloboma with high corneal astigmatism.

We describe a surgical technique for the correction of isolated congenital lenticular coloboma associated with high corneal astigmatism. Transscleral fixation of the capsular bag with a single eyelet Cionni capsular tension ring was followed by in-the-bag implantation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL). This lead to complete correction of the lenticular defect and perfect alignment of the toric lens. In this case, the child attained an unaided distance visual acuity of 20/30 following amblyopia therapy and a well-aligned toric IOL at 12 months of follow-up. This technique can be used in cases w…

[Complex treatment results in a congenital glaucoma patient (case report)].

Early diagnosis of congenital glaucoma allows surgery to be performed at the stage of reversible glaucomatous alterations of the optic disc and retina. In primary congenital glaucoma, the main reason for visual acuity reduction following surgical stabilization of the intraocular pressure are corneal changes. These include an increased corneal diameter, Haab's striae, areas of thickening and a greater posterior elevation. The resultant irregular astigmatism leads to amblyopia and a marked decrease in visual acuity. Active pleoptic treatment started from a very early age in children operated on …

[Early detection and treatment of strabismus].

An early diagnosis of strabismus is important in order to rule out treatable organic causes and in children, if indicated, to start as early as possible with an amblyopia treatment. Early detection will also decrease the risk for accidents secondary to diplopia, to the loss of binocular vision and to the restriction of the binocular visual field in case of esodeviations. The following therapeutic options exist: in some cases the prescription of the correct refraction will be sufficient, for small deviations a prismatic correction may allow a longstanding treatment, for larger or incomitant dev…

Aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve.

BACKGROUND: Aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve is most commonly due to its damage by trauma. CASE: A ten-month old child presented with the history of a fall from a four-storey building. She developed traumatic third nerve palsy and eventually the clinical features of aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve. The adduction of the eye improved over time. She was advised for patching for the strabismic amblyopia as well. CONCLUSION: Traumatic third nerve palsy may result in aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve. In younger patients, motility of the eye in diffe…

Iris depigmentation: an unusual complication of intralesional corticosteroid injection for capillary hemangioma.

Intralesional injection of corticosteroids has been used successfully in the treatment of adenexal hemangiomas, with advantages of easy administration, rapid action, repeatability, efficacy and safety. We report a case of an eight-month-old female infant who underwent intralesional corticosteroid injection for capillary hemangioma that had resulted in amblyopia of her left eye from ptosis. Two weeks after the injection, the hemangioma showed some regression but at that point iris depigmentation of the affected eye was noted. The iris depigmentation remained unchanged during her follow-up visit…

Severe penetrating ocular injury from ninja stars in two children.

The authors describe two cases of penetrating ocular trauma in children resulting from ninja stars. In the first case, despite a scleral laceration, loss of iris tissue, and a vitreous hemorrhage, the child had a good result with a final best corrected visual acuity of 20/20. Unfortunately, the child in the second case did not fare as well. In this case, the child suffered a large corneal laceration and traumatic cataract. He ultimately required a penetrating keratoplasty, and he is currently being treated for amblyopia, strabismus, and elevated intraocular pressures. His best corrected visual…

Treatment options for concurrent ocular disease presenting with posterior lenticonus.

Posterior lenticonus is a protrusion of the posterior capsule and cortex into the vitreous. The etiology is widely debated because of the rare nature of the condition. Lenticonus can present with concurrent ocular conditions, which can disrupt normal visual development. Currently, the only treatment option for posterior lenticonus is lensectomy, which may still have a reduced chance of visual success secondary to the associated disease. Although strabismus and amblyopia are commonly associated, keratoconus has not previously been reported with unilateral posterior lenticonus. Considering treat…
