Prevention of visual disability should begin in childhood. To plan high-tech specialized ophthalmic care for young patients, it is necessary to monitor the structure of ophthalmopathology in infants in leading domestic children's medical institutions. Purpose of the study. The study of the structure of eye diseases in infants based on the materials of the department of ophthalmology of the clinic of the Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute (TashPMI). Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of statistical coupons of case histories of 685 patients aged 0 to 1 years who were hospitalized in the ophthalmological department of the TashPMI clinic for 2018-2021 was carried out. Results and conclusion. The spectrum of nosological units revealed the predominance of glaucoma (41.3%) and lens diseases (30.4%). At the same time, it was noted that eye injuries (10.5%), diseases of the eyelids, lacrimal ducts (phlegmon of the lacrimal sac) and orbit (9.2%), although they did not occupy a leading position, nevertheless represented severe acquired lesions, which could have been prevented. Age-related aspects of nosologies are due to the timing of clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of pathologies, the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the child's body, and a decrease in parental control over children.
