Self induced digital pressure associated with significant transient corneal distortions in a pediatric patient – A multi disciplinary approach
The present case study is of an 8-year old male who was found to have refractive instability due to corneal distortions that were associated with chronic habit of abnormal eye rubbing (CHAR). Psychiatric evaluation and treatment alleviated the CHAR and at the same time refraction stabilized and the...
