A dominantly inherited cleavage of the pigment layer of the iris has been observed throughout three generations. In the two elder generations, luxation and rapidly progressing opacification of the lenses occurred; after cataract extraction, a cleavage of the pigment layer of the ciliary body could also be seen through the iridectomy. The lenses had reduced sagital and spherical diameters (4X7 mm). Furthermore, a peculiar form of glaucoma and a peripheral retinal detachment has been observed in the eldest generation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
