Comparative analysis of biometry and anterior chamber metrics in the eyes of extreme hyperopic and emmetropic children.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical and biometric features of pediatric eyes with extreme hyperopia and report baseline biometric values.

Methods: In this prospective case-control study, the biometric parameters of eyes in children with extreme hyperopia were compared to those of an emmetropic cohort of similar age. Comprehensive eye examinations were conducted for new patients.

Bilateral cataract surgery in children: immediate sequential versus delayed sequential surgery.

Purpose: To compare ocular and anesthesia-related complications in a cohort of patients having undergone either delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS) or immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS).

Methods: The medical records of children who underwent bilateral cataract surgery at our institution between 2012 and 2021were reviewed retrospectively. Included patients were 0-24 months of age, aphakic, and followed for at least 1 year after surgery.

Genetics of bilateral pediatric cataract in the Israeli and Palestinian populations.

Purpose: Bilateral pediatric cataract (BPC) is one of the most common causes of childhood visual impairment and blindness worldwide. A significant percentage of pediatric cataracts are caused by genetic alterations. We aim to characterize the set of genes and variants that cause BPC in the Israeli and Palestinian populations and to assess genotype-phenotype correlation.

Refractive predictive errors using Barrett II, Hoffer-Q, and SRKT formulae for pediatric IOL implantation.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of the Barrett II universal (BU II) formula, Hoffer-Q, and SRKT formulae following lensectomy and IOL implantation in a large pediatric cohort.

Methods: Retrospective study of children who underwent lensectomy and IOL implantation between 2015 and 2023 at Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel.

Results: One hundred and fifty-one eyes of 104 children aged 6.

SENIOR-LØKEN SYNDROME: A Case Series and Review of the Renoretinal Phenotype and Advances of Molecular Diagnosis.

Purpose: To report genetic and clinical findings in a case series of 10 patients from eight unrelated families diagnosed with Senior-Løken syndrome.

Methods: A retrospective study of patients with Senior-Løken syndrome. Data collected included clinical findings electroretinography and ocular imaging.
