Is keratoconus more severe in pediatric population?

International Ophthalmology, 2016
To compare the ophthalmic parameters and the severity of keratoconus (KC) in pediatrics and adults at the time of initial diagnosis in an Iranian population.KC was diagnosed via slit-lamp examination and Pentacam imaging. In a retrospective observational study, consecutive patients were divided into two groups of pediatrics (18 years old). Topographic,

Pediatric keratoconus epidemiology: a systematic scoping review

International Ophthalmology
Pediatric keratoconus (pediatric KC) causes progressive deformation of the cornea in children and adolescents, leading to a gradual loss of vision and a need for rehabilitation. However, new treatments may halt the disease and prevent worse outcomes that require penetrating keratoplasty and its associated morbidity and high cost, irreversible loss of ...

Corneal Cross-Linking in Pediatric Patients With Progressive Keratoconus

Cornea, 2016
To evaluate corneal cross-linking (CXL) in the treatment of keratoconus in pediatric patients. Specifically, this study investigates the impact of CXL on uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BDVA), manifest refraction, keratometry (K) measurements, and higher order aberrations.This is a retrospective ...

Corneal Cross Linking in Pediatric Keratoconus

2018
Keratoconus in pediatric patients is in most cases underdiagnosed when compared to adults. This probably is due to the acceptable visual function that early stages of keratoconus permit, which does not influence activities of daily life; a condition not evident neither by the patient nor by the patients’ environment (parents, guardians, teachers etc ...

Tomographic indices as possible risk factors for progression in pediatric keratoconus

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2016
To determine whether corneal tomography can help predict the risk of progression of keratoconus in children.The medical records of pediatric patients with keratoconus presenting to a large tertiary institution in the UK from 2009 to 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients underwent serial clinical examination and corneal tomography.
