Coloboma of lens - what does this mean

Coloboma of lens is a congenital eye disorder where there is a defect in the lens of the eye due to incomplete closure of the embryonic fissure during development. this results in a cleft or gap in the lens, which can cause vision problems such as blurred vision, double vision, or astigmatism.

What happens during the disease - coloboma of lens

Coloboma of the lens is a congenital condition caused by the failure of the embryonic fissure to close properly during the development of the eye. this results in an area of the lens being absent or abnormally shaped, which can cause significant visual impairment. in some cases, the coloboma can extend to other parts of the eye, such as the iris, retina, or optic disc. the exact cause of coloboma is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
