[Estimation of the quality of life 8-year-old child with bilateral anophthalmia].
OBJECTIVE
The main aim of our work was to estimate the physical and psychomotor development and the arrangement to the daily life for a 8-year-old girl with inborn bilateral anophthalmia.


METHODS
The basic ophthalmic, pediatric and neurological examinations were performed with additional genetic and radiological examinations.


RESULTS
The ophthalmic and MRI examination find out the absence of the eyeballs, optic nerves, optic chiasm, optic tracts and optic radiation.


CONCLUSIONS
Anophthalmia limits in a big grade an independent life of the child. However, currently the girl's development indicates for good intellectual abilities what is promising for future independent life and professional work.
