Anophthalmia is a rare condition where one or both eyes are either absent or not properly developed. It can occur in isolation with no other malformations in about 1 in 100,000 births. While two thirds of cases have a genetic cause, environmental factors like certain drugs, radiation, and toxins exposed during pregnancy can also result in anophthalmia. Genetic mutations and abnormal chromosomes are among the genetic causes of anophthalmia.

2. Anophthalmia
• Anophthalmia is the absence of one or both
eyes.
• Anophthalmia can occur in a isolation with no
associated malformation.

• Secandary anophthalmia is when the eye stars
to develop and stops leaving the infant with
residuel eyes or tiny eyes

3. Causes of Anophthalmia
• Two thirds of Anophthalmia are genetic and
the remaining causes are envirmentaly
factoes like drugs, radiations and toxins.
• Another cause is genetic mutations and
