Here, we present the analysis of a consanguineous family with three siblings who had bilateral aphakia, microphthalmia, and complete agenesis of the ocular anterior segment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The lens was present in the pupillary area. Unaided vision was 6/60. Refraction was 13.0 D in both meridians and he improved to 6/18 with glasses ( 12.0 D Sph.) Fundus Examination: Media were clear. [ijo.in]

Aphakia, congenital primary Overview Congenital primary aphakia (CPA) is a rare eye condition that is present at birth in which the lens is missing. [checkorphan.org]

This new edition presents unparalleled guidance on nearly every ophthalmic condition and procedure including the latest advances in the field, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), the ocular surface, new pharmacologic therapies, updated oculoplastic [books.google.com]

Prognosis Visual prognosis is usually guarded as the disease is often progressive. Early surgery may result in relatively good visual results in selected patients. [institut-vision.org]

Fortunately, the prognosis today is much better; in the majority of cases we can now control intraocular pressure and preserve vision. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

Dealing with Infant Cataracts Improved surgical techniques, safer anesthesia and improved post-surgical optical correction have greatly increased the visual prognosis in congenital aphakia. [clspectrum.com]

The histologic findings of secondary congenital aphakia depend on the underlying etiology. [aao.org]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

This congenital malformation has been described in isolated case reports, but the etiology remains unclear. 1 In this paper, we report two cases of congenital staphyloma that were associated with CYP1B1 gene mutations. [dovepress.com]

The patterns of disease by underlying etiology also suggest that genetic diseases are important worldwide. [scielosp.org]

Although this is a form of KILD, the etiology is the absence of iris due to the PAX6 mutation. Ancillary signs such as nystagmus, corneal pannus, foveal hypoplasia, and optic nerve hypoplasia all point to the diagnosis. [journals.lww.com]

Data on epidemiology and surgery age are critical for improving management strategies for this challenging condition. [journals.plos.org]

Pathophysiology The primary problem in glaucoma is disease of the optic nerve. The pathophysiology is not fully understood but there is a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons. [patient.info]

This condition is thought to result from an abnormality during the 4th or 5th week of fetal development, which prevents the formation of any lens structure in the eye. [checkorphan.org]

This condition is thought to result from an abnormality during the 4th or 5th week of fetal development, which prevents the formation of any lens structure in the eye. Mutations in the FOXE3 gene have been associated with this condition. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

Conditions that could have been treated early to prevent blindness (i.e. secondary prevention) include glaucoma and ROP. [scielosp.org]
