[Contribution of the pediatrician in the early diagnosis of eye diseases. 2].
Cataract, glaucoma, retinoblastoma and stenoses of the lacrimal passages are diseases that a carefully examining pediatrician will be able to detect at his work in the child-welfare centre or during his outpatient consulting hours. The timely treatment of the cataract (operation and subsequent optical correction) and of the infantile glaucoma (mostly fistulizing operation) is crucial to the future development of the virus. Retinoblastomas that often only at an advanced stage are identified and then will be remarkable by a greyish white pupillary reflex ("amaurotic cat's eye") in many cases make enucleation indispensably necessary. The frequently occurring stenoses of the lacrimal passages are to be pretreated with local antibiotic therapy and eliminated by subsequent probing.
