However, they are occasionally present entirely within the cornea or confined to the conjunctiva. [emedicine.medscape.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]

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]

• Gagging

  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 [bjo.bmj.com]

  The presence of corneal dermoid with an ipsilateral area of alopecia or nevus of the scalp should prompt MRI to evaluate for intracranial abnormalities and to diagnose encephalocraniocutaneous lipomatosis. [7] Corneal keloids Perry noted, "Corneal keloids [emedicine.medscape.com]

Diagnosis, Workup and Treatment Given the ocular examination, the working diagnosis was Peters anomaly. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

While pediatric treatment is generally the same as adult treatment, it requires extra care to ensure nontoxicity due to blood absorption. 8 Metabolic Conditions Children with corneal deposits may present with several congenital metabolic disorders: Cystinosis [reviewofcontactlenses.com]

C) The patient will require surgical treatment. [doctorlib.info]

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]
