Abstract

Ophthalmic problems in children include allergic and acute conjunctivitis, trauma, squint and congenital diseases. The importance of eye infections is progressively declining in population in the Libyan Jamahiriya due to improving socio economic standards and national measures aimed at eradicating trachoma and other eye infections. This review is intended to increase the awareness of the Libyan paediatrician encountering ophthalmic disorders, thereby hastening diagnosis and treatment.
