3. Periocular mesenchyme
•Neural crest
– corneal stroma, keratocytes + endothelium
– most of sclera
– anterior iris stroma
– ciliary muscle & stroma
– Uveal Melanocytes
– Chamber angle & Schlemm’s
•Paraxial mesoderm
– Temporal Sclera
– Endothelium of BVs

Surgery in Aniridia
• Glaucoma
– Goniotomy
– ‘Enhanced’ Filtration Sx
– Tubes
• Cataract
– Pre-op assessment VA
– IOLs
• Corneal opacity

Aniridia Syndromes
• WAGR
Wilms tumours, Aniridia, G-U anomalies, MRetardation
• Gillespie’s
Aniridia, MR, cerebellar ataxia.
2 PAX 6 cases. Others ITPR1 mutations
• Aniridia, absent patellae
• Aniridia, anophthalmos, microcephaly
• 13 others
Always in aniridia check for …
Glaucoma, cataract, corneal problems
Renal cancer: Wilms tumour mostly sporadic cases
3/12 to 5 yrs, 6/12 to 10, annually to 16
• Abdominal Renal Palpation
• Renal U/S
• Blood in urine
FISH/other cytogenetics & Mutation Analysis
Refraction !!! Low Vision assessment !!!
• Isolated

Schorderet DF et. al.2008 (Lausanne)
• “KILD”
• AR?
• Central and peripheral corneal opacities
Often ‘ringed’, bilateral
?related to Congenital Corneal ‘Perforation’ and Peters’
• Glaucoma frequent
• Systemic abnormalitiesoccasionally
“Sclerocornea”Most are Peters’ variants?
Corneal Grafting in ASDAs
• Bilateral cases only?
• May clear spontaneously: Give time!
• Pre-op assessment
– U/S, UBM, VEPs, Developmental assessment
• Full parental consent
• Expert team

Small grafts
Young material, oversized donor
Vitreolensectomy often needed
