It is shown that for the last years, among all eye diseases, the incidence of inflammatory eye diseases fell to 7.5%. The incidence of eye traumas and their outcomes reaching 26.2% remained stable. The incidence of congenital pathology (35.4%) and new-formations in the eye (10.8%) with predominance of malignant tumors, complex pathology of oculomotor apparatus (23.5%) reached high values. Organization of centers, of ophthalmic microsurgery in children allowed to introduce into ophthalmological practice complex surgical interventions requiring special devices and instruments. Surgical activity of the Center of Ophthalmic microsurgery in Children on the basis of the Filatov Institute made up 84.5% in the last five years. In order to optimize the rendering of stationary ophthalmological aid to children, the authors consider it necessary to improve continuity between a microsurgical center and regional children eye hospitals, to increase qualification of children ophthalmologists, to create a Republic Center for Rehabilitation of Children with eye diseases on the basis of a sanatorium with a good ophthalmological equipment.
