title: An approach to office pediatric ophthalmology.
abstract: Recognition of common eye problems affecting children is essential in the everyday practice of pediatrics. The physician should become familiar with a systematic approach for all ocular problems, including the examination of the newborn as well as trauma cases. The eye is a very accessible organ and the diagnosis of many problems is relatively easy. Management is often straightforward, cure is usually rapid, and satisfaction is great for the patient and pediatrician alike.
