OBJECTIVES: At the end of the session attendees should be familiar with: recognizing and managing aphakic and pseudophakic glaucoma in infants; IOL options and vision outcomes post lensectomy in infancy; and refractive changes in the infant eye. In addition, the attendees will leave with an enhanced understanding of the many sources of monocular and binocular diplopia, an appreciation of unanticipated causes of presumptive congenital strabismus, and acquired strabismus from peri-orbital local anesthesia.
