Medical Conditions - Aniridia

Aniridia refers to the condition of partial or complete absence of the iris. This is caused due to the abnormal or lack of development of the iris before birth. It involves one or both eyes, and this condition can be identified typically from birth. It is otherwise called absent iris, irideremia, and congenital aniridia.

All aniridia Q&A

My son was born without irises in the eyes. Is there any treatment?
