Markedly asymmetric buphthalmos but without anisometropia in a girl with primary congenital glaucoma.
Amblyogenic anisometropia is common in children with primary congenital glaucoma who have asymmetric buphthalmos. We report the case of a 6-year-old girl with markedly asymmetric buphthalmos but without anisometropia. Biometry confirmed that the more buphthalmic eye was longer than the contralateral eye and also had flatter keratometry.
