MORENO RAMIREZ, Mildrey Elsa et al. Corneal Opacities in Children. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2022, vol.35, n.3 Epub 01-Set-2022. ISSN 1561-3070.
If any medical condition that does not allow adequate visual stimulation manifests early in life, deprivation amblyopia follows. Corneal conditions diagnosed in children may have a congenital or acquired origin, the latter being traumatic or not. Knowledge of the diagnosis of conditions that cause corneal opacity in children is crucial to obtain all the necessary elements to help identify the earliest and most accurate diagnosis possible and to provide an adequate guide to choose treatment strategies by the multidisciplinary team involved. The objective was to address in an updated way the characteristics in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal opacities in pediatric ages. An automated search on the subject was carried out taking into account the publications of the last five years. The Infomed platform was used, specifically the Virtual Health Library.
