Background: The outcomes of pediatric glaucoma suspects with a history of ocular trauma remains unknown; we describe the rate of conversion to glaucoma of this population of patients at a research-intensive academic center.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of pediatric patients with a history of open- or closed-globe trauma who were being monitored as pediatric glaucoma suspects at the Wilmer Eye Institute between 2005 and 2016.

Results: A total of 62 eyes from 62 patients with a history of ocular trauma were identified with a median age at presentation of 9.

The high risks of traumatic cataract treatments promoted the development of the concept of autologous lens regeneration. Biochemical cues can influence the cellular behavior of stem cells, and in this case, biophysical cues may be the important factors in producing rapid activation of cellular behavior. Here we bio-printed mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using a commonly used bioink sodium alginate-gelatin blends, and investigated the induction effect of MSC differentiation towards lens epithelial stem cells (LESCs) under a combination of biochemical cues and biophysical cues.

This study details two cases of traumatic cataracts with a history of blunt trauma. Both presented with progressive vision loss, mydriasis, and zonular dialysis. The surgical intervention involved complete cataractous lens removal, anterior vitrectomy, iris cerclage with 10-0 prolene sutures, and retropupillary iris-claw lens fixation.
