Backgroundobjectives: To compare the structural anatomy of the anterior segment in pediatric Trisomy 21 (T21) subjects with and without cataracts to age-matched controls. Design: Prospective case-control study. Participants: 40 subjects (57 eyes) age 0–25 years old (9.1 ± 10.6 years). Methods: This prospective case-control study evaluated anterior segment measurements from ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging on 342 images. Results: Among persons with T21 cataract, the iris was significantly thinner than T21 individuals without cataract (0.28 vs 0.32 mm, p = 0.0181). T21/cataract subjects also had significantly thinner lenses than subjects without cataract, regardless of whether they have T21 or are controls (3.1 mm vs 3.5 mm, p = 0.0074).Thinner lens ( |
