title: A decade of ophthalmic statistics in Papua New Guinea.
abstract: This review is a composite of quarterly reports from an ophthalmologist's clinic in Madang over a ten-year period. The aim was to encompass ophthalmological practice in this situation quantitatively and qualitatively. It reflects, in the author's opinion, the state of ophthalmological services at present offered including ancillary services, and comments are made on some of the pathology encountered and surgery performed.
