[Retinal nerve fiber layer in OCT 3: prospective study of 53 normal children].

Purpose: To measure the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL thickness) in normal children using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and evaluate the effects of several factors on RNFL thickness, in order to complete results of other studies on this topic.

Material And Method: One hundred and four eyes of 53 normal children were investigated using OCT (Stratus OCT 3, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA) measuring the RNFL thickness. These 28 boys and 25 girls had a mean age of 9.

[Papillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurement using optical coherence tomography in children with ocular hypertension and juvenile glaucoma].

Purpose: To compare retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measurements taken with OCT in normal, ocular hypertensive, and glaucomatous eyes of children 4-18 years old.

Materials And Methods: The study included 181 eyes: 106 normal, 37 with ocular hypertension, and 38 with juvenile glaucoma. Diagnostic groups were classified based on intraocular pressure, optic nerve head appearance, visual field examination, and central corneal thickness measurement.

[Central corneal thickness in a pediatric population using a noncontact specular microscope: a study of 405 cases].

Aim: Central corneal thickness has become very important in the interpretation of intraocular pressure. The aim of this study was to correlate pachymetry values in a pediatric population with age, sex, and refraction. To our knowledge, the scientific literature has not reported such information.

[Deep sclerectomy in congenital glaucoma: results of a study lasting more than 3 years].

Purpose: To assess the outcome of deep sclerectomy surgery with intraoperative antimitotic application in children with primary and secondary congenital glaucomas.

Patients And Methods: Thirty-seven eyes of 22 children aged from 1 day to 14 years were included in this study; 30 eyes had primary congenital glaucoma and were divided into two groups according to the management delay. Eighteen eyes were managed early (group 1) and 12 eyes were diagnosed late (group 2).
