Expanding Indications of Imaging with Optovue Optical Coherence Tomography in Children


postoperative month, with complete healing six months after surgery. This result suggests that parents should be particularly careful during the first month after surgery with the activities that their children undertake.


Conclusion


The indications of OCT have been increasing during the past 15 years, from retina, to ONH, angle and cornea. Paediatric ophthalmology is a challenging niche of the ophthalmic clinical practice and pathologies, such as cataract, glaucoma or corneal diseases, are far to have the same pathophysiology and management than in adults. The major advantages of the newer, spectral domain devices are their

noncontact nature, high acquisition speeds, the range of quantitative and qualitative information they provide, the ability to obtain a 3D in vivo examination of human eyes, and their safety, even in a paediatric population. With the introduction of new generation, high-speed OCT, paediatric ophthalmology is likely to become an interesting new field for OCT application. The shape and the dimension of the cataract, the IOL position, the posterior capsular bag and the incision healing are potential new targets for OCT. On the basis of our results, it seems that, in children with aniridia and congenital cataracts, OCT can provide clinically relevant information. In conclusion, therefore, OCT is a promising tool to supplement clinical practice and for ophthalmic research, even in paediatric ophthalmology. n
