A member asked:

Pediatric Ophthalm.: A child can see a pediatric ophthalmologist. These specialists are available in every major city or major medical center. Be sure to get ppo insurance so the child can see different doctors without referrals. Not all cases are associated with other disorders, but some patients have neurofibromatosis. Glaucoma may develop, sooner or later, so the eye doctor will probably follow the eye pressures.

Congenital Ectropion: Uveae is a non-progressive condition: iris pigment epithelium curls around the margin of the pupil onto the anterior surface of the pupil. It can be associated with progressive open-angle glaucoma, neurofibromatosis type i, prader-willi syndrome, or axenfeld–rieger anomaly.
