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.

Using data from the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS), investigators assessed the prevalence of anisometropia among children who were randomized to IOL implantation as infants.

The mnemonic STUMPED can help with remembering the differential diagnosis for congenital corneal opacities: sclerocornea, tears in Descemet membrane, ulcers, metabolic, Peters anomaly, edema, and dermoid. Classification of corneal opacities can also be based on whether they are primary versus secondary, or congenital versus acquired.
