At the same time, some children have a vitreous pathology what can be operate with laser surgery - changes in the vitreous body can be a manifestation of the congenital persistent fetal vasculature syndrome, retinopathy of prematurity, effects of the injuries, operations and uveitis. The opacites and synechia forming of the vitreous body reduce acuity and often adduce to the traction, which can lead to detachment of the retina, ciliary body, progress of eye subatrophy. The review presents the main pathological conditions of the vitreous body with syndromes, congenital and systemic diseases in children, the possibilities of instrumental and laser vitreal surgery in children. A literature search for the review was conducted using the Medline and RINC database.
