One-year Profile of Eye Diseases in Infants (PEDI) in secondary (rural) eye care centers in South India

Conclusion: Profile of eye disease in infants in secondary or rural eye care centers ranged from simple to complex, including sight-threatening diseases. While our study concluded that nearly 4/5th of these eye problems were simple and could be managed by a well-trained comprehensive ophthalmologist, 20% of these cases required a referral to a tertiary care center.
