This study found virtual reality visual fields (VRF) are comparable to standard tests for pediatric neuro-ophthalmic conditions, but more children successfully completed VRF, making it a valuable, more accessible clinical tool.

OCT imaging of pediatric eyes found glaucoma and many cataract eyes have thickened TM, impaired Schlemm's canal, and angle abnormalities, suggesting these structural differences contribute to disease and treatment response.

This study found glaucoma-related adverse events are common after pediatric lensectomy, especially in aphakic eyes (29%) and those operated on under 3 months. Ongoing monitoring is crucial for all children post-lensectomy.

Preterm infants' RNFL and GCL+IPL thickness shows a biphasic change, increasing then decreasing around term age. This clarifies normal optic nerve development, aiding future glaucoma research in this vulnerable population.

This study found childhood glaucoma cupping reversal after surgery is due to axial length/cup depth reduction, not retinal nerve fiber layer regeneration, implying existing nerve damage persists despite clinical improvement.

Seely Kai R, Mangalesh Shwetha, Shen Liangbo L, McGeehan Brendan, Ying Gui-Shuang, Sarin Neeru et al.

This study found that thinner retinal nerve fiber layer in preterm infants predicted poorer 9-month visual acuity. OCT could help identify those at risk for poor vision.

MIGS for childhood glaucoma shows promise, particularly GATT and Trab360, but long-term data are limited. Surgeons must weigh MIGS risks/benefits against established treatments for each child.

This study found that 10 years after infant cataract surgery, 22% developed glaucoma and 40% glaucoma/suspect, a risk increasing over time. This highlights the high, ongoing risk of glaucoma, regardless of primary IOL, requiring vigilant, long-term monitoring.

Shen Liangbo L, Mangalesh Shwetha, McGeehan Brendan, Tai Vincent, Sarin Neeru, El-Dairi Mays A et al.

This study found birth weight independently predicts RNFL thickness in preterm infants, suggesting intrauterine factors influencing birth weight also impact retinal ganglion cell development and future glaucoma risk.

Overhead OCT successfully imaged childhood glaucoma patients where tabletop OCT failed, enabling high-quality scans for diagnosis, monitoring, and understanding disease progression in young, uncooperative patients.

Bilateral cataract surgery in toddlers (7-24 months) shows low rates of adverse events and glaucoma compared to younger infants, despite IOL use, which slightly increases visual axis opacification risk.

Bedside OCT in HIE infants revealed retinal injury (cysts, thinning) often correlating with brain injury severity. This suggests OCT may help assess HIE impact.

Glaucoma/suspect occurred in 6.3% of pediatric lensectomy eyes within one year, with higher risk in aphakic eyes and those younger than 3 months at surgery, necessitating close monitoring.

Bilateral infant cataract surgery yields good vision, but younger age and microcornea increase glaucoma risk, informing surgical timing and patient counseling.

Home tonometry in childhood glaucoma drainage device patients accurately detected tube-opening and alarming IOPs, enabling timely clinical intervention and personalized management.

This study established normal OCT values for peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (stable) and macular layers (age-dependent) in children 0-5 years, providing vital reference data for pediatric glaucoma diagnosis.

Lim Maria E, Jiramongkolchai Kim, Xu Limin, Freedman Sharon F, Tai Vincent, Toth Cynthia A et al.

Handheld OCT measured inner retinal layers in healthy children under 5, finding stable GCC volume and RNFL thickness from 6 months. This provides crucial normative data for diagnosing optic neuropathies in young patients.

ECP effectively treated congenital glaucoma in a patient with rare MIDAS syndrome, demonstrating a safe and effective surgical option for this complex condition.

360-degree trabeculotomy for refractory GFCS and JOAG showed modest success (72% and 60% respectively), reducing IOP and medication needs, making it a useful initial treatment.

This study found young, African American males with advanced glaucoma can have inner nuclear layer microcysts, making their macula appear normal despite nerve damage, potentially confounding glaucoma diagnosis.

Icare ONE home tonometry was feasible for parents in children. Normal eyes showed smaller, predictable IOP variations, while glaucomatous eyes had larger, less predictable fluctuations, suggesting utility for home monitoring.

Jiramongkolchai Kim, Freedman Sharon F, El-Dairi Mays A

This study found inner nuclear layer cysts are more common in pediatric non-glaucomatous optic atrophy, linked to worse vision and thinner RNFL, prompting further investigation when seen in children.

This study compared IOP measurements after vitreoretinal surgery using Icare, Tonopen, and Goldmann. They found good overall agreement, but Icare overestimates high and underestimates low IOPs, impacting clinical accuracy at extremes.
