Hello and thank you for creating this video. It is very informative. I was wondering what is the systemic condition that can cause Lenticonus where you said at 8:00 minutes. Was this described and maybe I did not understand or did you possibly forget to mention this? Thank you for your help!
It's Lowe's syndrome! 😊
@@InsightOphthalmology thank you for that clarification, I’m looking for answers to what, how and why Posterior Lenticonus happens in children unilaterally. And I’m also searching for any relevant protocols or possible medical breakthroughs of any kind besides the current surgery protocol. Any suggestions from you or direction to look into would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏!
Well that's really interesting! I would try looking into that and let you know if I find something .
Best wishes! 😊
