Cataract in Childhood Glaucoma and Anterior Segment Dysgenesis

Book cover Atlas of Pediatric Cataract

Abstract

Cataracts can occur in association with ocular or systemic comorbidities. Presence of these comorbidities may alter the presentation and management of lens conditions. In this chapter we will be discussing two such comorbidities: childhood glaucomas and anterior segment dysgenesis. Although childhood glaucoma and anterior segment dysgenesis are separate entities, they have been clubbed together since anterior segment dysgenesis is associated with glaucoma in significant number of cases and few cases of presumed primary congenital glaucoma may actually be glaucomas secondary to anterior segment dysgenesis.
