To the Editor: Dr. Lempert selected cross-sectional pretreatment visual acuity data from our earlier study of moderate amblyopia to suggest that there is spontaneous improvement in visual acuity of amblyopic eyes occurring over a four-year span between “early and late childhood.” In fact, there was only a 0.7 line difference in mean amblyopic eye acuity before treatment between the younger and the older children which may represent a small age effect. These cross-sectional acuity data from children four years apart in age are not comparable to our data from a longitudinal study of four months of treatment. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Treatment of severe amblyopia with weekend atropine: Results from 2 randomized clinical trialsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
To the Editor: The authors of this report assert that “weekend atropine can improve visual acuity” in children with severe amblyopia. An earlier PEDIG study documented a consistent change from poor to better acuity with increasing age for both the amblyopic and the fellow eyes prior to treatment (Table 3). In particular, 65% of children less than 4 years old had visual acuities of 20/80 or less in the amblyopic eye prior to initiation of treatment, while in the 6- to 7-year-old group only 37% had visual acuities of 20/80 or less.

To the Editor: We thank the correspondents for their interest in our article. Drs. Pehere, Chandrasekhar, and Kekunnaya raise 4 issues. First, they state that there is evidence to suggest that cataract surgery in the first month of life is associated with a high risk of glaucoma. This association, which has been found in a number of retrospective studies, was presented in our introduction. However, association of risk and age at surgery does not imply causation. It may also be the case that those children who are surgical candidates during the first month of life have more involved eyes (dense cataracts, small eyes, assoc...

To the Editor: The isolated congenital osseous choristoma of the lateral canthus reported by Khan and colleagues appears to remain unique in its U-shaped configuration. In our cases, both lesions appeared nodular on clinical examination and also had attachments to the bulbar conjunctiva. On gross pathology, the lesion in the first case was described as “polypoid”; in the second case, as “ovoid.” We greatly appreciate the comment by Khan and colleagues. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Congenital Osteoma Cutis of the Lateral CanthusEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
To the Editor: In their report of apparently isolated congenital osseous choristoma of the lateral canthus in 2 children, Gupta and colleagues do not cite our previous description of this entity that was published in the Journal of AAPOS. In our case, the lesion had a unique U-shaped configuration, which led us to believe that it originated from pluripotential cells that inappropriately migrated around the lateral canthus during embryogenesis. It would be interesting to know what the gross configurations were of the 2 excised lesions described by Gupta and colleagues. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Longitudinal assessment of plus disease in retinopathy of prematurity using color Doppler imagingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Retinal vascular changes and the development of plus disease are the hallmarks of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether or not serial examinations of retrobulbar blood flow characteristics, as measured by color Doppler imaging (CDI) performed repeatedly over a period of several weeks, would be useful for predicting those infants at risk for developing plus disease and to determine whether this technique may be used as an objective tool for confirming the presence of plus disease. Of the 73 infants followed in this study, 14 (19%) developed plus disease confirmed by a panel of e...

Plus disease is a major indicator for treatment in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and computer-assisted image analysis of vessel caliber and tortuosity in the posterior pole may indicate disease progression and severity.

Septo-optic dysplasia with bilateral congenital corneal anesthesiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Septo-optic dysplasia, or de Morsier syndrome, is characterized by optic nerve hypoplasia with an absent septum pellucidum and/or pituitary abnormalities. Congenital corneal anesthesia is a rare disorder that has been associated with many neurological disorders. Here we present a patient with both conditions who was successfully treated with permanent lateral tarsorrhaphy and aggressive lubrication. To our knowledge, congenital corneal anesthesia has not been reported in association with septo-optic dysplasia. The purpose of this report is to make pediatric ophthalmologists aware of a potential association since the diagno...

When and how to strengthen the superior oblique muscleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Patients with congenital SO muscle palsy have increased tendon laxity when measured directly during SO tendon tuck.

Modifying the Bishop tucker to provide length and tension data provides information that may be useful in determining surgical dosage. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Misleading clinical stereoacuity levels in pediatric maculopathyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report 3 cases involving pediatric maculopathy in which stereoacuity was relatively unaffected by reduced visual acuity. Along with the initial normal fundus appearance, which is frequently observed in pediatric maculopathy, good stereoacuity suggested functional visual acuity loss and delayed proper diagnosis in the first 2 cases. In the third case, visual-evoked potentials, electroretinography, and fluorescein angiography documented organic components; the eventual addition of a multifocal electroretinogram afforded a prompt diagnosis of maculopathy.

Conclusions: While ocular manifestation is common in CGD, chorioretinal lesions seem less frequent. However, they present potential risk of visual loss; it is recommended that patients undergo regular ophthalmologic examinations. This report provides further evidence that chorioretinal lesions occur not only in X-linked, but they can also occur in the autosomal-recessive form of CGD. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)
