Newer insights into the clinical profile of posterior lenticonus in children and its surgical, visual, refractive outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To analyze the clinical profile of patients with posterior lenticonus and their surgical, visual, and refractive outcomes.

Results

Retrospective interventional case series of 84 eyes of 63 patients with posterior lenticonus. The incidence of posterior lenticonus was 3.98% during a study period of 5 years. One-third of cases had bilateral posterior lenticonus. The mean age was 4.78 ± 4.28 years (unilateral cases were significantly older than bilateral, P = 0.0001). Males were 54%. Mean axial length and keratometry were 21.49 mm and 44.88 D, respectively. Eyes with the bilateral disease were significantly shorter (axial length, P = 0.0012) and smaller (horizontal corneal diameter, P < 0.0001) compared to those with unilateral disease. While 88% were pseudophakic; 12% w
