Correlation of Ocular Anterior Segment Features Before and After Pediatric Cataract Surgery
- Investigator Initiated
- Principal Investigator: Yasmin Bradfield, MD
- Study Coordinator: Chris Smith
Study objective:
To investigate whether anatomical differences in Schlemm’s canal and anterior segment structures are associated with the development of glaucoma in pediatric patients that undergo cataract surgery.
Study design:
The study will comprise three groups: minors that need to have cataract surgery, minors with healthy ocular structures and minors that have already had cataract surgery. There will be 1-7 visits, depending on the group, over a 5-year period.
Inclusion criteria:
- Male or female patients between 5-18 years of age
- Ability to obtain intraocular pressure measurement in clinic setting at the time of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) imaging
- Ability to obtain AS-OCT imaging of patient’s anterior segment angle in each eye
Exclusion criteria:
- History of ocular trauma
- History of uveitis
- Pregnancy at the time of enrollment
