Features of changes in refraction in children with congenital aniridia

Abstract

Reduced vision acuity in congenital aniridia is associated with a defect in the iris and a complex of changes of varying degrees of severity in other eye structures (cornea, optic nerve, retina, etc.). Prediction of changes in refraction is a complex problem, since there are wide variations in the state of the structures and functions of the eye from birth and their dynamics with age, as well as variations due to both genetic factors and the adequacy of treatment and prophylactic measures as well as patient’s adherence to therapy. The article describes the changes in refraction in children aged from 0 to 7 years old with PAX6-associated congenital aniridia.
