Coloboma of iris - what does this mean
Coloboma of iris is an eye condition caused by a developmental abnormality in which there is a gap or split in the iris of the eye. it is usually present at birth and can be caused by genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, or environmental factors. it can also be associated with other eye conditions, such as cataracts and glaucoma.
What happens during the disease - coloboma of iris
Coloboma of the iris is caused by a failure of the embryonic fissure to close completely during the sixth week of gestation. this results in a cleft or gap in the iris, often near the bottom of the eye. this gap can cause light to enter the eye abnormally, resulting in decreased vision. it can also cause structural changes to the lens, resulting in astigmatism.
