Abstract

Purpose: To document the longitudinal changes in eye status of children diagnosed with Stickler's syndrome in the first decade of life.

Method: All patients with cleft palate were referred for eye examination. Of these, patients with systemic findings of Stickler's syndrome were included in this report.

Results: Thirty-four eyes in 17 patients met inclusion criteria, with median best-corrected recognition acuity of 20/30. The mean cycloplegic refraction at presentation was -5.00 diopters, and the mean refraction at last visit was -5.50 diopters.

Conclusions: Refractive errors, cataracts, and vitreoretinal abnormalities can be detected early in life in patients with Stickler's syndrome, and refractive error changed little during the follow-up period.
