Interregional WHO meeting on prevention of corneal blindness was held in Tunis in November 14-17. The participants came to a conclusion that corneal blindness ranks second after cataract in the majority of countries of the world. It is more incident in developing countries and is the leading cause of blindness in children. The principal etiologic factors of corneal blindness are analyzed: trachoma, mycotic, parasitic, traumatic, conjunctivitis of the newborns. Recommendations on prevention of corneal blindness were developed, as were suggestions on approaches to primary and secondary prevention in the framework of primary medical care.
