Nanophthalmos in children: morphometric and clinical characterization

ConclusionsIn this study cohort, nanophthalmos was characterized by short axial length and high hyperopia, with shallow anterior chamber. Nearly 20% of children had occludable angles requiring intervention. Clinicians should monitor the ratio of lens thickness to axial length to ensure that angle closure is prevented.
