We report a case of a 60–year–old female who presented with bilateral slowly progressive visual loss. The patient presented with bilateral light perception visual acuity, exotropia, brunescent cataract hindering fundus examination and hypodontia. [semanticscholar.org]
Mean age at presentation was lower in PM (16.02±15.34 years, range 6 months to 72 years) than in NO group (33.20±19.31 years, range 3–60 years). Age distribution at presentation is shown in Figure 1. Eighty percent of PM presented at Figure 1 ). [nature.com]
Patients receiving treatment with botulinum toxin should be explained about the possible development of mydriasis, which may be present for several weeks. [e-tjo.org]

Authored by three prominent specialists in the field, this text provides comprehensive coverage of diagnostic and treatment modalities for optimal glaucoma management. [books.google.de]
Though the “best” method of treatment still remains somewhat controversial amongst ophthalmologists, many forms of treatment have clear benefit, and treatment should not be delayed. [southwesterneyecare.com.au]

Treatment Treatment Options: Narrow angles with shallow anterior chamber depth should be treated with prophylactic iridotomies. References [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis
PROGNOSIS Those who develop uncontrolled glaucoma and need surgery have poor visual prognosis secondary to common posterior segment intra- and postoperative complications. [entokey.com]
Visual prognosis is related to the central corneal involvement. The cornea has a flat curvature. [mendelian.co]
The prevention of neovascular glaucoma is extraordinarily important since treatment is difficult and the prognosis is generally poor. [southwesterneyecare.com.au]
Prognosis Nanophthalmos has a broad clinical spectrum, determining an also broad spectrum for the patients’ quality of life. Amblyopia can be prevented or minimized if high hyperopia is detected early in life. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Etiology
They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]
It is possible to misclassify cases with retinal pigmentary changes secondary to infectious, inflammatory, toxic etiology, or cone dystrophies as RP. [journals.plos.org]

Pathophysiology
Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome On postulated pathophysiologic mechanisms that have been abandoned, Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome also was known as anterior chamber cleavage syndrome and mesodermal dysgenesis of the cornea and iris. [emedicine.medscape.com]
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY • It may result from an arrest in ocular development after closure of the embryonic fissure. • A smaller than normal optic vesicle growing from the forebrain may be the cause of the reduced size of the eye, and scleral thickening could [entokey.com]

Follow-up & special considerations • In childhood, correction of refractive error to prevent amblyopia is mandatory. • Adults without glaucoma need follow-up examination every 6 months for early glaucoma detection. • Avoid any intraocular surgery unless [entokey.com]
