Ocular abnormalities in craniosynostosis are a persistent concern for patients and providers, and some surgeons feel that early surgical intervention for synostosis alleviates the progression of ophthalmologic abnormalities. In contradistinction, the authors hypothesize that operating early will have no bearing on postoperative ophthalmologic outcomes.
