Prevalence, Incidence, and Risk Factors for the Development of Glaucoma in Patients With Aniridia
Conclusions: Glaucoma occurs in a substantial proportion of patients with aniridia. Eyes with increased IOP at baseline are at a higher risk. [ J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus . 2017;54(4):250 –255.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Update on Orthokeratology in Managing Progressive Myopia in Children: Efficacy, Mechanisms, and Concerns
Myopia is an important public health issue, and high myopia may lead to severe complications if left untreated. Orthokeratology lenses, worn overnight to reshape the cornea, are one of many recent modalities used to slow down the progression of myopia in children. This treatment has been proven successful, as evidenced by decreased spherical refractive error and axial length relative to the control at interval follow-up ranging from 6 months to 5 years. In this systematic review, the authors collected published controlled studies that analyzed the efficacy of orthokeratology lens wear and calculated longitudinal r...

Effect of 4-Month Intermittent Atropine Penalization in Amblyopic Children for Whom Patch Therapy Had Failed
Conclusions:Intermittent atropine penalization for 4 months can improve BCVA in children with amblyopia for whom patch therapy has failed. Atropine penalization can be especially effective in younger children and those with poor BCVA at the start of atropine penalization in the amblyopic eye.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Clinical Features and Surgical Outcome of Triad Exotropia
Conclusion:Amblyopia was common and the prognosis of binocularity was poor in triad exotropia. Some patients had neurological deficits. The surgical success rate in this study was variable, ranging from 57.1% to 80%.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Detection of an Iris Pigmented Epithelium Cyst in a Child by High Frequency Ultrasonography
An 18-month-old boy presented with an iris pigmented epithelium cyst. The diagnosis was confirmed using high frequency ultrasonography. The cyst was determined to be in an intermediate location, thus needing no treatment provided that any potential complications were noted. However, continued monitoring is required to detect any changes to adapt management.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54:e31 –e33.] (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Giant Retinal Tear With Retinal Detachment in Regressed Aggressive Posterior Retinopathy of Prematurity Treated by Laser
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after successfully regressed retinopathy of prematurity is a rare occurrence. Late onset rhegmatogenous retinal detachment has been reported infrequently. The authors report a case of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity that underwent uneventful regression after laser photocoagulation and later developed an inoperable closed funnel retinal detachment due to a giant retinal tear. This case represents the earliest development of such complications in regressed aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity treated by laser. Development of a giant retinal tear has also n...

A Case of Endophthalmitis After Bilateral Medial Rectus Recession
A 9-month-old male infant with a history of Down syndrome underwent bilateral medial rectus recession. Two weeks postoperatively, he developed leukocoria of the left eye with a white opacity posterior to the lens, numerous undulations, necrosis, and hemorrhages in the retrolental space. His contralateral eye had white retinal lesions nasally. Ultrasound examination of the left eye showed a funnel retinal detachment, loculated debris, and a small, central, hyperechoic area concerning for calcification. He underwent enucleation because retinoblastoma could not be definitively ruled out. Given this patient's low visu...

Management of Presumed Endogenous Fungal Endophthalmitis in a Child With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
The authors describe a case of presumed endogenous fungal endophthalmitis in an immunocompetent pediatric patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A 15-year-old boy with a history of high-risk B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia status post-chemotherapy presented with acute changes in vision in his left eye. Fundus examination revealed a white bi-lobed chorioretinal lesion with overlying vitritis and associated subretinal fluid. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed small ring-enhancing lesions in the right parietal and left occipital lobes. Blood, cerebrospinal fluid, aqueous, and vitreous cultures w...

Abnormal Spontaneous Brain Activity in Patients With Anisometropic Amblyopia Using Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Conclusions:This study demonstrated abnormal spontaneous brain activities in patients with anisometropic amblyopia under Rs-fMRI, and these abnormalities might contribute to the neuropathological mechanisms of anisometropic amblyopia.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 200X;XX(X):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Agreement Between Three Optical Coherence Tomography Devices to Assess the Insertion Distance and Thickness of Horizontal Rectus Muscles
Conclusions:The three OCT devices permitted accurate and reproducible measurements of the limbus insertion distance and the thickness of the horizontal rectus muscles, showing moderate to good agreement between the SS-OCT and the two SD-OCT instruments.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54(3):168 –176.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)
