Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Congenital Corneal Opacities
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of anterior segment (AS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diagnosis and follow-up of children with congenital corneal opacities.Design: Noncomparative case series.Participants: Seven consecutive patients with bilateral congenital corneal opacity between 2 days and 2.5 years of age.Methods: In addition to basic outpatient examination, eyes were imaged using AS OCT. Anterior segment structures and corneal thicknesses were evaluated from the images. Three children also underwent evaluation under anesthesia, including measurement of corneal thickness with ultrasound pachymetry.Main Outcome Measures: Evaluation of the type and severity of the congenital corneal opacity based ...
