ABSTRACT
The treatment of corneal conditions in children can prove to be challenging. Not only are children at risk for infectious and inflammatory corneal conditions, but they can also have congenital conditions affecting the cornea and anterior segment. Recognizing these conditions is of the utmost importance because treatment can prevent corneal scarring and permanent visual loss. This chapter will be divided into several major subdivisions of congenital corneal opacification, developmental abnormalities, metabolic disease, and infectious etiologies.
