Abstract
The article is dedicated to the clinical picture and diagnostics as well as the principles of management of pediatric patients with corneal opacity of various genesis including congenital malformations of the anterior section of the eye (posterior embryotoxon, Axenfeld anomaly, Rieger anomaly, Peters anomaly, corneal staphyloma, sclerocornea). Clinical picture of the congenital dystrophy and benign tumors of the cornea and limbus as well as the corneal opacities in congenital glaucoma, metabolic lesions and intrauterine infection is presented.
