Monitoring and Morphologic Classification of Pediatric Cataract Using Slit-Lamp-Adapted Photography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the feasibility of pediatric cataract monitoring and morphologic classification using slit lamp-adapted anterior segmental photography in a large cohort that included uncooperative children.

Methods

Patients registered in the Childhood Cataract Program of the Chinese Ministry of Health were prospectively selected. Eligible patients underwent slit-lamp adapted anterior segmental photography to record and monitor the morphology of their cataractous lenses. A set of assistance techniques for slit lamp-adapted photography was developed to instruct the parents of uncooperative children how to help maintain the child's head position and keep the eyes open after sleep aid administration.

Results

Briefly, slit lamp-adapted photography was completed for
