Pax6132-14Neu/Pax6+ and Pax6132-14Neu/Pax6132-14Neu histological adult eye sections.
vision/eye
|
• the corneal stroma is pierced centrally by a strand of epithelial cells continuous with the corneal epithelium
|
|
• the anterior chamber is absent and the small globe is filled with extensively folded but well differentiated retina
|
|
• the lens is severely malformed, consisting of small clusters of round fiber-like cells and irregular strands of lens epithelium and capsule
|
|
• microphthalmic eyes show a persistent connection between the lens and the cornea
|
|
• in some eyes, colobomata occurs at the posterior pole
|
|
• the vitreous body is absent

Pax6132-14Neu/Pax6+ and Pax6132-14Neu/Pax6132-14Neu histological adult eye sections.
vision/eye
|
• fusion of the lens to the cornea is associated with a defect in the corneal stroma and endothelium, which is filled with epithelial cells continuous with those covering the conically projecting anterior surface of the lens
|
|
• defect in the corneal stroma, which is filled with epithelial cells
|
|
• in the lens, a plaque of multilayered epithelial cells and degenerated cortical fibers underlay the fusion point
|
|
• the anterior pole of the lens is fused to the cornea
|
|
• failure of lens vesicle to separate from ectoderm
|
|
• eyes in which the lens and cornea are separated display an anterior polar cataract and central corneal defect involving the stroma, Descemet's membrane, and endothelium

vision/eye
|
• the remnants of the pupillary membrane connect the opacity with the cornea
|
|
• failure of lens vesicle to separate from ectoderm
|
|
• pyramidal opacity at anterior pole of lens; uni- or bilateral and incomplete penetrance
• the opacity frequently protrudes into the anterior chamber and attaches to the cornea
