Anopthalmia

This content is also available in: Español (Spanish)

A rare condition in which one or both eyes do not form during pregnancy. When both eyes are affected, blindness results. There is no cure for anophthalmia. Prosthetic eyes can promote proper growth of the eye sockets and development of facial bones and also serve cosmetic purposes. Find more information on Microphthalmia here.
