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.
