Detecting Keratoconus: Feasibility and Findings in Three Pediatric Risk Groups.

Purpose: To investigate the utility of three corneal screening devices in three groups of children.

Methods: This was a prospective study of patients with Trisomy 21 (group 1), patients with a first-degree relative with keratoconus (group 2), and control patients (group 3). Informed consent was obtained before testing with the Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH), Orbscan (Orbscan, Inc), and Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) (Ametek Reichart Technologies).

Circumferential Trabeculotomy Versus Conventional Angle Surgery: Comparing Long-term Surgical Success and Clinical Outcomes in Children With Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Purpose: This study compares the long-term efficacy of circumferential trabeculotomy to that of conventional angle surgeries in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG), as judged by glaucoma and visual outcomes.

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: Setting: Emory Eye Center, Atlanta, Georgia.

Primary Congenital Glaucoma Versus Glaucoma Following Congenital Cataract Surgery: Comparative Clinical Features and Long-term Outcomes.

Purpose: To report and compare visual and glaucoma outcomes in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) vs glaucoma following congenital cataract surgery (GFCS).

Design: Retrospective, observational, comparative case series.

Methods: Setting: Emory Eye Center, Atlanta, Georgia.

Pediatric glaucoma medical therapy: who more accurately reports medication adherence, the caregiver or the child?

As they grow older, most children with glaucoma must eventually face the transition to self-administering medications. We previously reported factors associated with better or worse medication adherence in children with glaucoma, using an objective, electronic monitor. Utilizing the same data set, the purpose of the current study was to determine whose report (the caregiver's or the child's) corresponded better with electronically monitored adherence.
