Abstract The homeodomain-containing transcription factor Pitx2 (pituitary homeobox protein 2) is present in many developing embryonic tissues, including the heart. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

They are present at birth and appear as raised yellow-white tissue which can be segmental or extend for the full limbal circumference. Some present as a dark ring around the cornea. The apophyses can be elevated 2-3mm and extend for 3-5mm laterally. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Treatment depends on the subtype (ranges from topical steroids/antibiotics to aggressive systemic steroid treatment). Dellen - localised saucer-shaped thinning of the cornea caused by localised tear film instability. [patient.info]

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]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: The diagnosis is made by an ophthalmologist. It can be surgically removed but this is not always necessary. The astigmatism may be correctable with refractive surgery. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

PKP prognosis is poor due to chronic ocular surface disease. Do alkali or acids cause worse chemical burns? What are signs of an unfavorable visual prognosis with alkali burns? Extensive limbal epithelial damage and intraocular chemical penetration. [quizlet.com]

Although visual prognosis is good, patients have to be monitored for complications of treatment. [patient.info]

The three conditions classified under Bowman’s layer dystrophy were once thought to be the same etiology and only recently have been distinguished, based on microscopic appearance and clinical presentation. [reviewofcontactlenses.com]

In contrast with the peripheral abnormalities, the central disorders have two separate etiologies, primary dysgenesis and secondary to inflammation, but the clinical and histopathologic distinction between the two is difficult. [entokey.com]
