Treatment calls for excision, as the growth is superficial. 3 Although limbal dermoids are present unilaterally, a bilateral presentation is typical of children with Goldenhar’s syndrome, who will also present with colobomas of the lid and iris or total [reviewofcontactlenses.com]

A complete eye examination is important to determine if glaucoma or other eye disease is present. In severe cases, a corneal transplant can improve vision, and, of course, it is important to treat glaucoma if present. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

  Whereas the predominant corneal PG carries highly sulphated keratan sulphate (KS) glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), sulphated KSPGs are not major scleral components. 3 Here, we investigate if sclerocornea is more like sclera or cornea in terms of its KSPG molecular [doi.org]

Prognosis [ 9 ] The prognosis for vision depends on the severity and location of the coloboma (particularly in relation to the optic nerve, macula and maculopapular bundle) and on any complications such as retinal detachment or amblyopia. [patient.info]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: The disorder is suspected when simple inspection reveals loss of corneal clarity. Only an eye specialist can determine if this is sclerocornea and not another disorder such as congenital glaucoma. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Visual prognosis is dependent on the disease severity. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]

But they worsen the prognosis.  Hence if peripheral cornea is clear, and there is no cataract, a peripheral iridectomy can be done to create a new visual axis. 51. [slideshare.net]
