Peters anomaly new insights

SummaryDevelopmental anomalies are one of the the main pathologies seen in infancy and childhood. Embryological development of the anterior segment structures are closely related to each other and the clinical manifestations can be complex with associated glaucoma and lens opacities. Also in infancy and childhood amblyopia is needed to addressed in order to support visual system development. The spectrum of developmental anomalies known as anterior segment dysgenesis can be mild as posterior embryotoxon or can affect iris, cornea and even crystalline lens in severe cases of Peters anomaly. Peters anomaly can be seen as a genetic syndrome (Axenfeld‐Rieger syndrome) or after congenital rubella. As the clinical manifestation vary, the treatment modalities vary accordingly.
