Abstract
All newborns should be examined for ocular structural abnormalities, an essential part of the newborn assessment. Early detection of congenital ocular disorders is important to begin appropriate medical or surgical therapy and to prevent visual problems and blindness, which could deeply affect a child’s life. The present review aims to describe the main congenital ocular anomalies in newborns and provide images in order to help the physician in current clinical practice.
