Ciliary Body Hypoplasia

Ciliary body hypoplasia is a rare congenital condition characterized by:

• Underdevelopment of the ciliary body
• Reduced ciliary body function
• Potential for vision problems

Symptoms

1. Vision loss: Blurred or distorted vision
2. Glaucoma: Increased intraocular pressure
3. Lens instability: Dislocation or subluxation of the lens

Associated Conditions

1. Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome: A genetic disorder affecting eye development
2. Other anterior segment dysgenesis: Abnormal development of the front part of the eye

Management

1. Regular eye exams: Monitoring eye health and vision
2. Glaucoma management: Medications or surgery to control intraocular pressure
3. Lens management: Surgery or other interventions for lens instability

If you have ciliary body hypoplasia, work closely with an eye care professional to manage the condition and preserve vision.
