Ocular Manifestations of Perinatal HIV Infection in Kenyan Children on HAART: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study
This study suggests that in the HAART era, perinatally HIV-infected children with well-managed viral loads show visual function and largely normal ocular surface health, contrasting with pre-HAART literature. The increased frequency of strabismus in HIV+ children and its potential association with abacavir warrant further investigation into HAART-related ocular motility side effects.
