    Abstract Pediatric glaucoma is a constellation of challenging ophthalmic conditions that, left untreated, can result in irreversible vision loss. The mainstay of treatment for primary congenital glaucoma and select secondary glaucoma subtypes is angle surgery, either trabeculotomy or goniotomy. More recently, MIGS devices have been utilized to enhance the efficacy of these procedures. Despite the high success rates of these primary surgical options, refractory cases are challenging to manage. There is no consensus on the next step of treatment following primary angle surgery. Glaucoma drainage devices and trabeculectomies have been the traditional options, with laser treatment reserved for more severe cases. The benefits and disadvantages of each of these options are discussed.

    Abstract Purpose: To examine the relationship between the Child Opportunity Index (COI) and severity of retinoblastoma at presentation.
    Design: Cross-sectional study.
    Methods: Children (age <18 years) treated for retinoblastoma at a tertiary care center between January 2000 and May 2023 were included. Residential census tract was used to determine the overall and domain-specific COI score for each child. Collected variables included age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance type, and the International Classification of Retinoblastoma (ICRB) Group at initial examination. The primary outcome was Group D or E retinoblastoma at presentation. Mixed effects regression models were used to estimate the association of COI scores with disease severity at presentation.
    Results: This study included 125 children (51.2% male). Median age at diagnosis was 13 months (IQR, 5-24 months). One hundred nine (87.2%) children presented with Group D or E retinoblastoma and 33 (26.4%) resided in low or very low opportunity neighborhoods. Children residing in neighborhoods with low overall COI scores (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.01-2.58; P = .044) and low education COI scores (OR, 1.77; 95% CI, 1.13-2.79; P = .013) were at increased odds of presenting with ICRB Group D or E retinoblastoma after adjusting for individual-level socioeconomic factors.
    Conclusion: Children residing in low opportunity neighborhoods-particularly low education opportunity-more often presented with advanced stage retinoblastoma than children residing in neighborhoods with higher opportunity scores. Efforts to improve preventative vision care and access to eye specialty care for children residing in low-resource areas are needed to reduce existing disparities in retinoblastoma.

    Abstract Purpose: To characterize long-term strabismus outcomes in children in the Infant Aphakia Treatment Study (IATS).
    Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis of long-term ocular alignment characteristics of children aged 10.5 years who had previously been enrolled in a randomized clinical trial evaluating aphakic management after unilateral cataract surgery between 1 and 6 months of age.
    Results: In the IATS study, 96 of 109 children (88%) developed strabismus through age 10.5 years. Half of the 20 children who were orthophoric at distance through age 5 years maintained orthophoria at distance fixation at 10.5 years. Esotropia was the most common type of strabismus prior to age 5 years (56/109 [51%]), whereas exotropia (49/109 [45%]) was the most common type of strabismus at 10.5 years (esotropia, 21%; isolated hypertropia, 17%). Strabismus surgery had been performed on 52 children (48%), with 18 of these (35%) achieving microtropia <10
    Conclusions: Strabismus-in particular, exotropia-is common irrespective of aphakia management 10 years following infant monocular cataract surgery. The delayed emergence of exotropia with longer follow-up indicates a need for caution in managing early esotropia in these children. Children with better visual acuity at 10 years of age are more likely to have better ocular alignment.

    Abstract Purpose: Intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) offers advantages over laser photoablation for treatment of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). However, retinal function has not, to date, been quantitatively compared following these interventions. Therefore, electroretinography (ERG) was used compare retinal function among eyes treated using IVB or laser, and control eyes. In addition, among the IVB-treated eyes, ERG was used to compare function in individuals in whom subsequent laser was and was not required.
    Design: Prospective clinical cohort study.
    Methods: ERG was used to record dark- and light-adapted stimulus/response functions in 21 children treated using IVB (12 of whom required subsequent laser in at least 1 eye for persistent avascular retina [PAR]). Sensitivity and amplitude parameters were derived from the a-wave, b-wave, and oscillatory potentials (OPs), representing activity in photoreceptor, postreceptor, and inner retinal cells, respectively. These parameters were then referenced to those of 76 healthy, term-born controls and compared to those of 10 children treated using laser only.
    Results: In children with treated ROP, every ERG parameter was significantly below the mean in controls. However, these significant ERG deficits did not differ between IVB- and laser-treated eyes. Among children treated using IVB, no ERG parameter was significantly associated with dose or need for subsequent laser.
    Conclusion: Retinal function was significantly impaired in treated ROP eyes. Function in IVB-treated eyes did not differ from that in laser-treated eyes. Functional differences also did not distinguish those IVB-treated eyes that would subsequently need laser for PAR.

    Abstract Purpose: Cataract surgery in young children poses different challenges and potential complications compared to those encountered in adult populations. We performed a literature review of the complications of pediatric cataract surgery.
    Methods: Literature review of complications of pediatric cataract surgery.
    Results: Complications in children vary based on the age of the patient at surgery and the cause of the cataract. Common events discussed include increased inflammatory response, opacification of the posterior capsule, lens reproliferation, pupillary membrane, and amblyopia; less common events include infections, significant bleeding, and retinal detachment.
    Conclusion: Complications after cataract surgery in children are often associated with a robust inflammatory reaction or secondary opacity and, in infants, glaucoma. Late complications can occur decades later, so that long-term follow-up is required. Though surgery carries significant risks, the consequences of no surgery and irreversible deprivation amblyopia in very young children should be considered.

    Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly disrupted the delivery of healthcare. Although most nonurgent ophthalmology visits at Boston Children's Hospital were canceled, premature infants at risk for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) still required timely, in-person care during the initial 3-month period of the infection surge in Massachusetts. The purpose of the current study was to report our protocols for mitigating risk of exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) between infants and eye care providers and to compare examination rates and results with the same 3-month period in 2019.
    Methods: During the infection surge, we added new infection control measures and strengthened existing ones. Additional personal protective equipment was used, and the number of ophthalmologists rotating in the three high-capacity NICUs we service was limited.
    Results: More infants required ROP examinations during the study period in 2020 than in the same period in 2019, but fewer examinations were performed. There were no cases of missed progression to severe ROP during this time and no known transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between ROP patients and ophthalmology staff.
    Conclusions: Overall, effective ROP care was safely provided during the COVID-19 pandemic, and contact with this vulnerable population was minimized.
