Aniridia
Aniridia is a rare genetic condition characterized by the absence of the iris, the colored part of the eye. This condition can affect one or both eyes and may lead to various vision problems, including sensitivity to light and difficulty focusing. Aniridia is often associated with other eye issues, such as glaucoma and cataracts, and can be linked to genetic mutations, particularly in the PAX6 gene.
Individuals with aniridia may require regular eye examinations and specialized care to manage their symptoms. Treatment options can include corrective lenses, surgery, or other interventions to improve vision and protect the eyes. Early diagnosis and management are essential for optimizing outcomes for those affected by this condition.
