    Abstract Pediatric Cataract Surgery and IOL Implantation: A Case Based Guide is a must-have resource for ophthalmologists, surgeons, residents, and fellows who work with pediatric cataracts and their surgical management as well as ancillary readers such as parents or supportive caregivers to a child with cataracts. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the epidemiology of pediatric cataract surgery and IOL considerations and implantation. It addresses pre-operative considerations and examinations as well as surgical steps and techniques for various pediatric cataract conditions. Chapters begin with an introduction and are followed by discussions that offer countering viewpoints and case studies. In addition, chapters illustrate the complexity of the management of pediatric lens opacities. The book closes with a case-based approach to special considerations in IOL implantation: including considerations in the uveaitic patient, placement without capsular support, and cataract surgery in the developing world. Providing thoughtful chapters that seek to expand on the currently available literature without redundancy, this book a solid companion piece to any other text discussing pediatric cataracts.

    Abstract Down Syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal conditions in the world, affecting an estimated 1:400-1:500 births. It is a multisystem genetic disorder but has a wide range of ophthalmic findings. These include strabismus, amblyopia, accommodation defects, refractive error, eyelid abnormalities, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, nystagmus, keratoconus, cataracts, retinal abnormalities, optic nerve abnormalities, and glaucoma. These ophthalmic conditions are more prevalent in children with Down Syndrome than the general pediatric population, and without exception, early identification with thoughtful screening in this patient population can drastically improve prognosis and/or quality of life.

    Abstract Purpose: To identify patient characteristics associated with visit attendance, treatment outcomes, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) testing in pediatric glaucoma patients at an urban tertiary care center.
    Methods: The records of patients with childhood glaucoma seen from 2015 to 2021 were reviewed. Primary outcomes were the proportion of scheduled visits completed, visual acuity and intraocular pressure (IOP) at most recent follow-up, and rates of OCT testing. Social determinants of health evaluated included race and ethnicity, distance of residence from clinic, insurance carrier type and residence within Baltimore City County, the latter two serving as proxies for socioeconomic status.
    Results: A total of 99 patients met inclusion criteria: 61% were male; 47%, White (non-Hispanic); 25%, Black (non-Hispanic); 11%, Hispanic/Latino; and 7% Asian/Pacific Islander. Mean distance from clinic was 45.3 miles. Mean visit completion rate was 90.4%; there was no statistically significant variation in visit completion rates by patient characteristics. IOP outcomes did not vary across patient groups, but visual acuity outcomes in affected eyes were significantly worse among Baltimore City County residents compared with non-residents. Only 22% of the cohort received ≥1 OCT per year, and patients living 0-29.9 miles from clinic had significantly lower odds of reaching the threshold than more distant patients. Patients with state-based insurance had significantly lower odds of being ≥50th percentile for rate of OCTs received compared to patients with commercial insurance.
    Conclusions: In children with glaucoma, residence within Baltimore City County was associated with significantly worse visual acuity outcomes, and close proximity to clinic was an independent predictor of lower rates of OCT testing, despite similar visit attendance rates and IOP outcomes across all groups.

    Abstract We performed a retrospective review of patients with refractory pediatric glaucoma who were started on netarsudil at the Wilmer Eye Institute. We found minimally sustained IOP lowering over a 6-month period in 29 eyes of 23 patients. Our results suggest that although netarsudil is an alternative medication in the management of pediatric glaucoma, its efficacy may be limited in refractory pediatric glaucoma patients. In addition, careful cornea examination is required to evaluate for signs of corneal decompensation, especially in patient with preexisting cornea disease.

    Abstract Background: Ectopia lentis is the dislocation of the natural crystalline lens and usually presents in the setting of trauma or other systemic diseases. Herein, we describe a case of an otherwise healthy four-year-old boy with isolated ectopia lentis whose partial lens dislocation was captured on a smartphone by the patient's father several days prior.
    Case presentation: A four-year-old boy with no past medical, developmental, or trauma history presented with bilateral partial anterior lens dislocation with pupillary block. Initial ophthalmic evaluation two months prior was notable for uncorrected visual acuity at 20/100 OD, 20/250 OS, bilateral iridodenesis, and partially dislocated lenses inferonasally OD and inferiorly OS on slit lamp. Genetic testing found no abnormalities. Ten months later, the patient developed sudden onset of left eye pain. A dislocated lens and temporarily dilated left pupil were captured on a smartphone by the patient's father. He was evaluated 3 days later after a second episode and found to have hand motion vision OS, a fixed 8 mm left pupil with the crystalline lens subluxed into the pupil space and accompanying intraocular pressure OS of 40 mmHg. The lens was surgically removed with a limited anterior vitrectomy. Four and a half years after surgery, visual acuity was 20/125 OS with aphakic correction. The right eye eventually underwent prophylactic lensectomy and was 20/30 in aphakic correction.
    Conclusions: This report presents a unique presentation of isolated ectopia lentis with anterior lens dislocation and pupillary block and illustrates the role of smartphone photography in assisting in the triage of eye emergencies.

    Abstract Prcis: In this retrospective review of pediatric glaucoma suspects, 11.5% of eyes progressed to glaucoma over an average of 6.5 years; eyes with ocular hypertension had an 18-fold increased risk of progression compared with eyes with suspicious disc appearance.
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the rate of progression to glaucoma of a large cohort of pediatric glaucoma suspects at a quaternary academic center.
    Design: Retrospective case series.
    Participants: One thousand three hundred seventy-five eyes (824 individuals) followed as pediatric glaucoma suspects at the Wilmer Eye Institute between 2005 and 2016.
    Methods: Retrospective study of pediatric patients monitored as glaucoma suspects at the Wilmer Eye Institute between 2005 and 2016.
    Main outcome measures: Progression to glaucoma, defined according to Childhood Glaucoma Research Network criteria or by surgical intervention; initiation of intraocular pressure-lowering therapy.
    Results: One hundred fifty-eight (11.5%) eyes from 109 unique patients met the criteria for conversion to glaucoma during follow-up; rates of conversion ranged between 34.1% for eyes monitored for ocular hypertension, 16.2% for eyes with prior lensectomy, 12.1% for eyes monitored for other ocular risk factors, 2.4% for eyes with suspicious disc appearance, and 0.4% for eyes monitored for systemic risk factors. The first criterion met for conversion to glaucoma was ocular hypertension in 149 eyes (94.3%) and enlarged cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) in 9 eyes (5.7%); the most common second criterion met was the enlargement of CDR since initial presentation (45 eyes, 28.5%), surgical intervention (33 eyes, 20.9%), visual field changes (21 eyes, 13.3%), and asymmetric CDR change compared with fellow eye (20 eyes, 12.7%). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves across the different indications for being monitored as a glaucoma suspect significantly differed ( P <0.0001). Eyes being monitored for ocular hypertension had an 18-fold increased risk of conversion to glaucoma than those followed for suspicious disc appearance [hazard ratio (HR) 18.33, 95% CI, 10.05-33.41). Eyes monitored for prior lensectomy and for other ocular risk factors had a 6-fold and 5-fold increased risk of conversion to glaucoma than those followed for suspicious disc appearance, respectively (HR: 6.20, 95% CI, 3.66-10.51; HR: 5.43, 95% CI, 3.00-9.84). Eyes followed for ocular hypertension were nearly 4 times more likely to convert to glaucoma than those followed for prior lensectomy (HR: 3.72, 95% CI, 2.28-6.07).
    Conclusions: Eyes being followed as pediatric glaucoma suspects for ocular hypertension had higher rates of progression to glaucoma than eyes being monitored for prior lensectomy, other ocular risk factors, suspicious disc appearance, or systemic risk factors.

    Abstract Introduction: Micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MPCPC) has been shown in adults to offer a favorable post-operative safety profile compared to continuous wave transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (CWCPC) in the management of glaucoma. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term efficacy, safety, and effectiveness of MPCPC in the management of pediatric glaucoma when compared to CWCPC.
    Methods: IRB approved retrospective chart review of patients with pediatric glaucoma that underwent MPCPC and CWCPC at 2 separate institutions. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) between 5 and 21mmHg on any number of topical glaucoma medication without requiring additional surgical intervention or oral IOP lowering medication.
    Results: Of the 48 patients in the study, 22 (26 eyes) underwent MPCPC and 26 (30 eyes) underwent CWCPC. At 1 year, 7 out of 26 eyes (26.9%) achieved success in the MPCPC group compared to 13 out of 30 eyes (43.3%) in the CWCPC group. Survival analysis unveiled a statistically significant difference in success between the two groups (p = 0.03).
    Conclusion: In pediatric glaucoma patients undergoing cyclophotocoagulation procedures, CWCPC outperformed MPCPC using default settings in terms of achieving long-term IOP control. Additional studies are required to evaluated augmented MPCPC settings in pediatric glaucoma patients.

    Abstract Purpose: To facilitate the development of standardized guidelines for the surgical management of patients with pediatric traumatic cataracts by assessing current ophthalmologists' practice patterns.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional, observational, and retrospective study. A 24-question electronic survey of current practices pertaining to the surgical management of pediatric traumatic cataracts was sent to pediatric ophthalmologists worldwide. Preferences for pre-operative evaluation, surgical timing and techniques, and postoperative management were analyzed.
    Results: Of the 56 respondents, 62.5% practiced in academic settings. Of the 49 respondents (87.5%) who performed pediatric ruptured globe repair, 41.7% would perform simultaneous cataract extraction if anterior capsular violation existed, whereas 4.1% would do so without capsular violation (P < .001). Most respondents (50.9%) would remove visually significant cataracts within 4 weeks in patients within the amblyogenic age range (P = .02), whereas 63.6% would wait longer outside the amblyogenic range. Preferences for intraocular lens selection, primary posterior capsulotomy, and timing of amblyopia therapy differed.
    Conclusions: Individual management practices regarding pediatric traumatic cataracts vary depending on associated globe injuries and patient age. Trends exist in surgical planning, intraoperative techniques, and visual rehabilitation methods, but no single approach has achieved complete unanimity. Therefore, further investigation into optimal timing and the extent of surgical intervention, refractive correction, and postoperative care is necessary prior to developing evidence-based guidelines for enhancing visual outcomes in this population.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess risk factors for loss to follow-up (LTFU) and identify obstacles to follow-up care in these patients.
    Methods: The medical records of all children (<18 years old) who underwent strabismus surgery over a 6-year period at a single institution were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were considered LTFU if they failed to attend a follow-up appointment between 3 weeks and 6 months postoperatively. Variables collected for all patients included age, sex, race/ethnicity, and insurance type. A telephone survey of parents/guardians of all patients LTFU was conducted to determine potential barriers to follow-up care. Demographic information was compared between those not LTFU and those LTFU as well as those LTFU and those LTFU who completed the survey. Reasons for LTFU were quantified and classified by category.
    Results: Patients LTFU were significantly more likely to be black than white or Asian and have state or government-based insurance rather than private or employer-based insurance. The most common reasons cited for not following-up included perceived positive outcome (47%), work conflicts (37%), transportation issues (30%), travel time (30%), and having forgotten (27%).
    Conclusions: Patients were LTFU because parents or guardians perceived follow-up as unnecessary, were faced with scheduling or transportation impediments, or simply forgot to appear. Possible remedies include increasing education through teach-back, offering telemedicine appointments, and sending multiple appointment reminders.
