It is essential that a correct diagnosis is established as a misdiagnosis could have serious consequences for the patient; allowing the real problem to progress undetected.

In the literature, goniotomy and trabeculotomy, despite success rates of only 40-90%, are still the initial surgical procedures of choice for most cases of primary congenital glaucoma. In the case of secondary glaucomas associated with conditions such as aphakia, aniridia, anterior segment dysgenesis and Sturge-Weber syndrome, the success rates of goniotomy or trabeculotomy are much lower. 2006-09-01T04:00:00Z http://www.oteurope.com/ophthalmologytimeseurope/data/articlestandard/ophthalmologytimeseurope/352006/368413null XML http://www.oteurope.com/ophthalmologytimeseurope/Paediatrics/Visual-correction-in-childhood-aphakia/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/368415?contextCategoryId=37867&ref=25 Early surgical intervention and adequate orthoptic therapy are important when dealing with children who have undergone cataract surgery. A pseudophakic implant represents an effective solution for the management of aphakic children; a multifocal IOL can provide additional correction, without hindering quality of vision. Here, Klaus Weber, MD provides a brief overview of the incidence, causes and management of childhood cataract, and recommends potential avenues of treatment for the visual rehabilitation of paediatric patients with aphakia. 2006-09-01T04:00:00Z http://www.oteurope.com/ophthalmologytimeseurope/data/articlestandard/ophthalmologytimeseurope/352006/368415null XML
