Response of Pediatric Choroidal Neovascularization to Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor.

Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare condition in children but poses a substantial threat to vision. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is commonly used in the pediatric population to treat retinopathy of prematurity. However, the use of anti-VEGF is less common for childhood CNV due to the rarity of CNV in the pediatric population.

Error of calibration in ophthalmic calipers: a source of significant clinical errors.

Objective: Length measuring instruments are frequently used in ophthalmic surgery practice. For all subspecialties, calipers need to be accurate. This study was carried out to identify errors of calibration in ophthalmic calipers as a potential source of significant clinical errors.
