title: Ophthalmic aid to eastern Europe: can the individual ophthalmologist help?
abstract: The problems of ophthalmic care in the newly independent countries of Central and Eastern Europe may not be fully appreciated by Western ophthalmologists. Information that has been received as a result of a questionnaire is discussed and some suggestions are made by which help can be given to countries that have been disadvantaged by political and economic influences for nearly half a century.
