Analysis of factors associated with axial length development in patients with unilateral congenital cataract
Axial length (AL) plays a crucial role in assessing eyeball development, influenced by various factors [1, 2]. Congenital cataract, a leading cause of pediatric blindness, impacts the development of the globe, with pathological changes in AL attributed to defocusing and visual form deprivation [3, 4]....
C-terminal extension of HSPB6 in a family with myopathy and cataract
The small heat shock protein HSPB6 (a.k.a. Hsp20) is highly expressed in striated and smooth muscles. It modulates the oligomerization of its paralogs HSPB1 and CRYAB (HSPB5) and is involved e.g. in cytoskeletal regulation and autophagy. While HSPB6 variants have been implicated in cardiomyopathy, they...

Red reflex examination for early detection of pediatric cataract using a novel red-reflex screening device
Early detection of pediatric cataracts is essential to prevent irreversible visual impairment; however, effective screening remains limited in many settings. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the CatScreener, a self-designed handheld red-reflex screening device, when operated by non-expert...
