Refractive surgery is one of the most commonly performed elective procedures in ophthalmology; it is mostly performed in patients who are older than 18 years of age. This routine procedure has been time-tested and is proven to be both safe and effective in adults. However, little is known about the safety and efficacy of refractive surgery in pediatric patients. Granted, refractive surgery should not be used in kids merely for the purpose of avoiding spectacles wear, but it can be of valuable help is preserving vision in patients with amblyopia and accommodative esotropia who otherwise couldn't comply with traditional management options. Refractive surgery in pediatric patients is a complex and challenging field due to the unique characteristics of their developing eyes. This review article aims to provide an overview of the current literature on refractive surgery in pediatric patients, focusing on the different surgical options, the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure.
