Peters’ Syndrome Complicated by Buphthalmos

Krause–van Schooneveld–Kivlin syndrome is a hereditary syndrome that mainly affects the eyes, growth and development of the individual. It is also known as Krause–Kivlin syndrome or Peters-plus syndrome.
Features of this syndrome include Peters anomaly, leukoma, central defect of Descemet's membrane, and shallow anterior chamber with synechiae between the iris and cornea. It is associated with short limb dwarfism and delayed mental development.
Krause–van Schooneveld–Kivlin syndrome is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which means that the syndrome, or a subtype, affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States.

(Sorry, I couldn't help it. x])

Humor aside, this is sad though. Poor baby.
Good thing it's rare.

Re: Peters’ Syndrome Complicated by Buphthalmos

My heart aches whenever I see a child having to deal with this, I hope there are some forms of treatment that can be used so they can reach adulthood and live as normal a life as possible

Re: Peters’ Syndrome Complicated by Buphthalmos

I follow a blog about a kid that has Peter's. He was born blind but was able to have a little vision restored. Has to have eye drops done multiple times a day for the rest of his life though.
