title: Review of embryology and its relation to ocular disease in the pediatric population.
abstract: This overview of normal ocular development concentrates on those areas that more commonly undergo maldevelopment, some of which are discussed in more detail in other papers in this Symposium. Many of the congenital anomalies routinely seen in children are reviewed and the possible mechanisms leading to these anomalies are discussed.
