[The abortion problem from the ophthalmologist's point of view (author's transl)].
This article is devoted to the problems associated with termination of pregnancy as seen by the ophthalmologist. It starts by pointing out the ophthalmological indications which have to be considered in this connection. Pediatric indications are then discussed, in particular the highly problematic clinical picture of diabetic retinitis. Last not least, in view of the revision of the (German) abortion law, psychosocial indications must be considered; in this respect an unequivocal attitude should be adopted.
