Anterior synechiae after penetrating keratoplasty in infants and children with Peters' anomaly.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate anterior synechiae after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in patients with Peters' anomaly using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed. The medical records of patients diagnosed with Peters' anomaly who underwent PK between 2013 and 2018 were reviewed. In addition to basic ophthalmic examinations, images of anterior segment structures were obtained via spectral-domain OCT at baseline and during the postoperative follow-up period. The profiles of postoperative anterior synechiae and multiple potential risk factors were analyzed.

Results

Seventy-one eyes of 58 patients, aged 5 to 23 months, were included. Various extent of postoperative anterior synechiae was observed in 59 ey
