Summary

Congenital ocular malformations are relatively rare, affecting approximately 5 in every 10,000 live births, and can cause both functional and aesthetic deficits. More common malformations include anophthalmia, microphthalmia, cyclopia, coloboma, aniridia, optic nerve hypoplasia, congenital cataracts, corneal opacity, and congenital glaucoma [1, 2, 3].
