Iris coloboma is an innate ocular irregularity marked by an aperture or indentation within the iris, the eye's pigmented portion. This aberration materializes during the initial stages of fetal development when the iris fails to seal appropriately. The extent and configuration of colobomas can diverge, potentially affecting one or both eyes. Although they typically do not substantially impair vision, more extensive colobomas can result in visual deficiencies.
