abstract: 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.

  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.
