Ocular lesions of onchocerciasis.

THIS paper aims at describing, illustrating, and interpreting the ocular lesions associated with onchocerciasis. The literature of onchocerciasis already includes many pictures of the ocular lesions. The paintingst and diagrams in this paper supplement those previously published and are intended to fill gaps in the existing literature. The accompanying text expresses the author's views on the interpretation of the lesions and refers to alternative opinions. Particular attention is paid to the choroido-retinal lesions because they have been the subject of much controversy. It is hoped that the paper as a whole will assist workers in the field to distinguish and understand the lesions of onchocerciasis.
