Iris-Lens Coloboma Defect (Photo)

This extreamly magnified view of the eye shows a coloboma defect in the iris. In this case, you are looking at the left eye and the defect is infero-temporal. The iris is not completely missing as their exists a strand of iris tissue like a bridge. The lens is also defective here, with a dimpling in of the edge and lack of zonules at this spot.

Now, this photo is hard to understand out of contex, so you should watch the iris coloboma video from which this particular snapshot was taken.
