    Abstract Background/objectives: Uveitis in children and young people (CYP) is a rare but potentially debilitating condition. Steroid eye drops are the first step in treatment and poor compliance may result in vision-threatening complications. This study aims to measure compliance with prescribed eye drops prospectively in a child-specific manner.
    Subjects/methods: Patients aged 0-18 years attending a tertiary paediatric uveitis clinic using steroid drops were recruited. Both the CYP, and person with parental responsibility (PPR) completed questionnaires about compliance. A subgroup had bottles of Prednisolone 1% drops dispensed and weighed at the first appointment and reweighed at follow-up. The weight reduction was compared with expected weight change over the interval.
    Results: The study was completed by 42 patients of the 50 patients recruited. Thirty-one CYP and their respective PPR completed both questionnaires, 11 completed only one questionnaire (9 CYP, 2 PPR). Drop errors for all eye drops were reported more than "once a week" by 13/39 CYP (33.3%, 95% CI: 19.1%-50.2% of respondents), and 3/31 PPR (9.7%, CI: 19.1%-50.2% of respondents). Many PPR could not recall prescribed drop frequency (n = 13/31, 40.6%, CI: 23.7%-59.4% of respondents). Twelve patients had bottles weighed and returned. Insufficient weight reduction was found in 9 (75%, CI: 42.8%-94.5%). Within the eye drop weighing subgroup three participants (25%, CI: 5.5%-57.2%) used <50% the expected weight of drops.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated poor eye drop compliance in CYP with uveitis. Self-reported compliance was unreliable in this population. Worryingly, some patients miss more than 50% of drops and may suffer sub-optimal disease control.

    Abstract Purpose: To describe a case of interferon-beta retinopathy associated with paracentral acute middle maculopathy.
    Case report: A 15-year-old girl with Epstein-Barr virus-positive advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma WAS REFERRED with reduced visual acuity. Multimodal imaging findings, including optical coherence tomography angiography, at presentation and evolution following cessation of interferon therapy are presented.
    Conclusion: The presentation of paracentral acute middle maculopathy in this patient supports the presumed ischaemic pathogenesis in interferon retinopathy. The imaging findings provide evidence of deep capillary plexus involvement in interferon retinopathy with evolution to permanent structural damage within the inner nuclear layer.

    Abstract Non-traumatic ectopia lentis can be isolated or herald an underlying multisystemic disorder. Technological advances have revolutionized genetic testing for many ophthalmic disorders, and this study aims to provide insights into the clinical utility of genetic analysis in paediatric ectopia lentis. Children that underwent lens extraction for ectopia lentis between 2013 and 2017 were identified, and gene panel testing findings and surgical outcomes were collected. Overall, 10/11 cases received a probable molecular diagnosis. Genetic variants were identified in four genes: FBN1 (associated with Marfan syndrome and cardiovascular complications; n = 6), ADAMTSL4 (associated with non-syndromic ectopia lentis; n = 2), LTBP2 (n = 1) and ASPH (n = 1). Parents appeared unaffected in 6/11 cases; the initial presentation of all six of these children was to an ophthalmologist, and only 2/6 had FBN1 variants. Notably, 4/11 cases required surgery before the age of 4 years, and only one of these children carried an FBN1 variant. In summary, in this retrospective cohort study, panel-based genetic testing pointed to a molecular diagnosis in >90% of paediatric ectopia lentis cases requiring surgery. In a subset of study participants, genetic analysis revealed changes in genes that have not been linked to extraocular manifestations and highlighted that extensive systemic investigations were not required in these individuals. We propose the introduction of genetic testing early in the diagnostic pathway in children with ectopia lentis.

    Abstract Diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) requires awareness of the multisystem disease manifestations and their diverse presentation in terms of time of onset and severity. Many patients with MPS remain undiagnosed for years and progressively develop irreversible pathologies, which ultimately lead to premature death. To foster timely treatment and ensure a better outcome, it is of utmost importance to recognize and evaluate the typical ocular features that present fairly early in the course of the disease in many children with MPS. These include corneal clouding, ocular hypertension/glaucoma, retinal degeneration, optic disc swelling and optic nerve atrophy. Other associations include pseudo-exophthalmos, amblyopia, strabismus and large refractive errors requiring spectacle correction. While some ocular manifestations require specialized equipment for detecting abnormalities, light sensitivity, pseudo-exophthalmos and strabismus are often apparent on a routine physical examination. In addition, patients may be symptomatic from vision impairment, photosensitivity, night blindness and visual field constriction. Combined with the skeletal/joint complications and other manifestations, these ocular features are key in the differential diagnosis of children with joint abnormalities. Rheumatologists should have a high index of suspicion for MPS to facilitate early diagnosis. Referral to a geneticist, a metabolic specialist or physician who specializes in MPS can confirm the diagnosis and provide disease management. Consultation with an ophthalmologist who has expertise in MPS is also needed for thorough examination of the eyes and regular follow-up care.

    Abstract Linear scleroderma is a characteristic form of scleroderma that typically affects children. Ocular manifestations may be present, especially when the frontoparietal area of the head is affected. We present the case of a 5-year-old boy with craniofacial linear scleroderma ("en coup de sabre") who developed exudative retinal detachment. Angiographic and neuroimaging findings are presented, and the importance of regular fundus examination is highlighted.

    Abstract Background: Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are rare hereditary disorders of protein metabolism, manifesting early in life with ketoacidosis and encephalopathy and often resulting in chronic complications. Optic neuropathy (ON) has been increasingly recognised in both conditions, mostly through isolated case reports or small cases series. We here report the clinical features and visual outcomes of a case series of paediatric patients with a diagnosis of MMA or PA.
    Methods: Retrospective observational case series. A database of patients attending the Willink Biochemical Genetics unit in Manchester was interrogated. Fifty-three patients had a diagnosis of either isolated MMA or PA, of which 12 had been referred for ophthalmic review.
    Results: Seven patients had clinical findings compatible with ON. Visual outcomes in these patients were poor, with slow clinical progression or stability over time in five cases with follow-up. Presentation was acute in a context of metabolic crisis in two of the cases. Four patients with ON had electrodiagnostics showing absent pattern evoked potentials, with one showing a preserved flash response. All four showed marked attenuation of the dark-adapted electroretinogram with better preservation of the light-adapted response.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that ON is under-reported in patients with MMA and PA. Clinical presentation can be acute or insidious, and episodes of acute metabolic decompensation appear to trigger visual loss. Photoreceptor involvement may coexist. Active clinical surveillance of affected patients is important as comorbidities and cognitive impairment may delay diagnosis.

    Abstract Congenital cataract is the commonest worldwide cause of lifelong visual loss in children. Although congenital cataracts have a diverse aetiology, in many children, a cause is not identified; however, autosomal dominant inheritance is commonly seen. Early diagnosis either on the post-natal ward or in the community is important because appropriate intervention can result in good levels of visual function. However, visual outcome is largely dependent on the timing of surgery when dense cataracts are present. Good outcomes have been reported in children undergoing surgery before 6 weeks of age in children with unilateral cataract and before 10 weeks of age in bilateral cases. Placement of an artificial intraocular lens implant after removal of the cataract has become established practice in children over 2 years of age. There remains debate over the safety and predictability of intraocular lens implantation in infants. Despite early surgery and aggressive optical rehabilitation, children may still develop deprivation amblyopia, nystagmus, strabismus, and glaucoma. The diagnosis and management of congenital cataracts has improved substantially over the past 30 years with a concurrent improvement in outcomes for affected children. Many aspects of the pre-, intra-, and postoperative management of these patients continue to be refined, highlighting the need for good quality data and prospective collaborative studies in this field.
