“…As surgery of refractive errors is becoming more common among the pediatric population, particularly for the treatment of high anisometropia and contact lens intolerance to prevent amblyopia [2,11,13], there is an obvious need for preoperative evaluation and knowledge of standard values in pediatric eyes. Scotopic pupil size is a parameter that should be mandatorily examined before refractive surgery to prevent the development of halos and other light-scattering effects, particularly among patients with large scotopic pupils [5].…”

“…Em caso de criança com menos idade ou pouco colaborativa, concordamos com outros autores (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) sugerindo o uso da anestesia geral. Infelizmente, com a anestesia geral, a centralização se torna mais difícil, mesmo que o cirurgião utilize recursos já descritos tais como: fixar o olho durante a ablação, usar colírio de pilocarpina no pré-operatório ou centralizar a área de ablação pelo limbo (11) .…”

“…Por isso, a cirurgia refrativa é normalmente adiada até a estabilização da refração, o que ocorre no início da idade adulta. No entanto, concordamos com outros autores (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) cujos trabalhos mostram que crianças portadoras de alta anisometropia, que não respondem bem ao tratamento clínico convencional, podem ser beneficiadas pela cirurgia refrativa.…”
