Report from 18 months of practice in the “Hôpital Général” of Brazzaville. Three groups must be considered: — Newborns: — the purulent gonococcal ophtalmia has a bad prognosis and though rather rare, must not be neglected. — Infants: — measles, which have in Congo a very high prevalence, induce very frequently corneal ulcers with a great risk of rapide evolution towards hypopyon or panophtalmia; — congenital cataracts probably related to rubella or toxoplasmosis. — Children: — congenital glaucoma; — retina, with, in first rank, the retinoblastoma which seems particularly frequent in People Republic of Congo; — traumatisms of various kinds.
