ABSTRACT
Aniridia, the bilateral total or partial absence of the iris, is a rare congenital often hereditary anomaly which usually leads to blindness in adulthood due to secondary glaucoma and cataract formation. The authors experienced two cases of congenital aniridia associated with nystagmus, foveal hypoplasia, corneal pannus, cataract, secondary glaucoma and strabismus. Extracapsular cataract extraction and trabeculectomy was performed with satisfactory result. Therefore this case was presented with brief review of literatures.
