Ichthyosis follicular, alopecia, and photophobia (IFAP) syndrome is a rare disease, with possible X-linked mode of inheritance. The patient presented ocular findings photophobia, corneal scarring erosions, superficial deep vascularization myopia. He was treated artificial tears punctal occlusion small improvement photophobia. After three months using systemic retinoid (Acitretina) posterior amniotic membrane transplantation in the left eye, there significant erosions neuropsychomotor development.

This document on myopia control is derived from a compilation of medical literature and the collective clinical expertise an expert committee comprising members Brazilian Society Pediatric Ophthalmology Contact Lenses Cornea. To manage in children, recommends corneal topography biannual visits with cycloplegic refraction, along annual optical biometry. For fast-progressing myopia, biometry should be considered. Myopic progression defined as increase spherical equivalent greater than 0.50...

This study aimed to propose a guideline for amblyopia treatment and follow-up. Studies show that leads series of perceptual deficits, including loss visual acuity, stereoacuity, contrast sensitivity. Perceptual changes are also found in the sound eye, such as those involving types motion perception. The gold standard remains prescription eyeglasses, when indicated, patching dominant eye. is mostly effective patients aged <7 years must be discontinued gradually, tapering off at least 5 weeks....
