Dr. Friedman moderates this virtual journal club with Drs. Reem, Daikonis, and Jung. Articles included: Diagnostic criteria in pediatric intracranial hypertension (Rachel Reem, MD); Long-term outcomes of corneal cross-linking for keratoconus in pediatric patients (Vasilios F. Diakonis, MD, PhD); and Validation of WINROP for detecting retinopathy of prematurity in a North American cohort of preterm infants (Jennifer L. Jung, MD).

Pediatric dry eye disease has been considered a rare condition, because of a lack of high-evidence epidemiological and normative data, a poor consensus on the diagnostic algorithm, difficulties in symptom quantification and interpretation, and attention focused on the hyposecretive form of the disease. However, recent reports and studies have shed light on the importance of the disease.

Moderator Erick D. Bothun, MD, introduces the session London Fog: What Am I Doing Differently in Pediatric Anterior Segment?

This lecture from Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017 looks at the advantages of crosslinking over both penetrating and anterior lamellar keratoplasty in children diagnosed with keratoconus.

This lecture from Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017 presents arguments for keratoprosthesis in children, including some immediate benefits and a successful case.

This lecture from Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017 discusses the case of a a 4-year-old girl with blepharitis and recurrent chalazia who presented with severe corneal opacifications, multiple hordeola, photophobia, and pain.

This lecture from Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017 discusses the case of a 17-year-old girl who was followed initially for accommodative esotropia, with pseudopapilledema first noted on exam 14 years ago.

This lecture from Pediatric Ophthalmology 2017 discusses the case of an 8-year-old African-American boy with a history of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) who presents with active VKC and grade 2 corneal ulcer.

This prospective study compared the safety and efficacy of accelerated transepithelial (A-epi-on) corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) with standard epi-off CXL in children with progressive keratoconus.
