“…Cost-effectiveness analysis of vision screening [2, 3] requires, among others, that the impact of persistent amblyopia is transformed into an objectively measurable form, a utility value. It was, to this end, necessary to estimate the decrease in quality of life in unilateral amblyopia and/or strabismus patients, as quantified by the applied utility analysis, wherein the burden of disease, as perceived by patients, should be measured [4]. …”

“…1,2 Other additional pediatric-specific issues include difficulties in monitoring disease progression due to cooperation and the need to simultaneously address amblyopia for optimal visual development. 31,32 Although the mainstay of pediatric glaucoma management is typically angle surgery, many children, especially those with advanced and secondary forms of glaucoma, require trabecular meshwork bypass surgery. [3][4][5] While trabeculectomy with or without antifibrotics has long been utilized in both pediatric and adult patients, the decreased risk of bleb-related infections and the more predictable early postoperative course have made GDDs a popular choice for children, especially in the United States.…”

“…The management of childhood glaucomas remains a challenge due to the heterogeneity of the diseases, increased inflammatory and thus scarring response to surgery, and a much greater anticipated lifetime to maintain IOP control 1,2. Other additional pediatric-specific issues include difficulties in monitoring disease progression due to cooperation and the need to simultaneously address amblyopia for optimal visual development 31,32. Although the mainstay of pediatric glaucoma management is typically angle surgery, many children, especially those with advanced and secondary forms of glaucoma, require trabecular meshwork bypass surgery 3–5.…”

“…This conclusion cast doubts on the value of vision screening for amblyopia. Nilsson similarly questions the merits of pre-school acuity screening based on presumed better utility of amblyopic adults 12 than that estimated by Beauchamp. 13 Disabled people are frequently inspiring.…”
