Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

For the sake of children’s health and future development opportunities, it is necessary to check and monitor their eyesight. Neonatologists, pediatricians, ophthalmologists and all doctors caring for pediatric patients are involved in this process.

Cooperation between doctors of different specialties, therefore, plays an important role in the proper development of a child. Proper patient assessment, genetic assessment, care and treatment options play significant roles in the diagnostic process. In this context, child eye care gains new importance.

The aim of this Special Issue of Children is to link changes in the visual system such as occur in various diseases. This provides researchers with the opportunity to express opinions not only to ophthalmologists but also to doctors of various specialties. Additionally, it allows for new diagnostic and treatment possibilities to be taken into account.

We encourage you to present research methods, treatment methods and case reports to this Special Issue.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Uveitis is an inflammatory disease that can lead to severe complications, including vision loss. The pediatric population is particularly at risk of developing complications, as uveitis in this age group often has idiopathic origins or is associated with systemic diseases that follow a severe course. This, coupled with unfavorable treatment outcomes, continues to be a challenge in pediatric ophthalmology. The cornerstone of uveitis treatment involves a therapeutic strategy that depends on the etiology, severity, and localization of the inflammation, as well as the patient’s response to treatment and the presence of ocular complications. Patients who do not receive timely treatment face a significantly increased risk of experiencing a severe disease course. Understanding potential therapeutic options and their side effects is crucial in managing children with uveitis. Equally important is the continuous monitoring of the child’s condition throughout the treatment process, due to the chronic and recurrent nature of uveitis in this demographic. The authors conducted a review of the current literature from 2018 to 2023 on the management and introduction of new therapeutic approaches for children with uveitis. Full article
