Importance: Glaucoma can occur following cataract removal in children, and determining the risk for and factors associated with glaucoma and glaucoma suspect in a large cohort of children after lensectomy can guide clinical practice.
Objective: To estimate the incidence of glaucoma and glaucoma suspect and describe its management in the first year following lensectomy in children before 13 years of age.
Design, Setting, And Participants: A multicenter clinical research registry containing data for 1361 eyes of 994 children who underwent unilateral or bilateral lensectomy between June 2012 and July 2015 at 1 of 61 sites in the United States (n = 57), Canada (n = 3), and the United Kingdom (n = 1).
Purpose: To report long-term follow-up in a patient with retinal oxalosis from primary hyperoxaluria.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for this patient.
Patients: A 6-year-old girl that presented to our clinic before and after combined kidney/liver transplant.
Objective: To describe the authors' experience using keratoprosthesis to treat pediatric corneal opacity.
Design: Nonrandomized, consecutive, retrospective interventional series.
Participants: Twenty-two eyes of 17 children with opaque corneas as a result of primary congenital disease and or previous failed keratoplasty.
Purpose: We sought to describe the change in ocular alignment at 2 years after treatment of amblyopia in children younger than 7 years of age at enrollment.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial of patching versus atropine for 6 months followed by standard clinical care for 18 months was conducted in 357 children with anisometropic, strabismic, or combined amblyopia (20/40-20/100) whose ages ranged from 3 to younger than 7 years at enrollment. Ocular alignment was evaluated at enrollment and after 2 years of follow-up.
Purpose: To compare two methods of measuring ocular torsion (the subjective Maddox rod [MR] test versus the objective disc-fovea angle [DFA] test) after macular translocation surgery.
Methods: Ocular torsion was measured on consecutive patients after macular translocation at Duke University Eye Center between August 2001 and April 2002. Both MR and DFA measurements of torsion were made at the same clinic visit 4 to 8 weeks after the translocation surgery and again within 3 months after extraocular muscle surgery to decrease torsion.
