Aniridia is a congenital condition characterized by an extremely underdeveloped iris, which appears absent on superficial examination. [84] Ocular albinism and eye color.
An artificial iris is an intraocular implant (implant inside the eye) that is used as both a cosmetic and to treat those with aniridia (missing or damaged irises) or other eye trauma. [1] People with this condition experience photophobia, or increased sensitivity to light. [2] The artificial iris, made from silicone, acts as a replacement iris ...
