What is aniridia?
Thursday, 12 October 2023
Aniridia is a congenital eye condition in which the iris is missing, or the iris is underdeveloped. The iris is not only the part of the eye that gives color, but it also regulates the amount of light that enters the eye, thus controlling the amount of light that reaches the retina. In the absence or limited presence of the iris, those affected by aniridia may experience sensitivity to light and difficulty adjusting to changes in lighting.
