A young male presented to our clinic with a history of diminution of vision in the left eye from childhood. His vision in the left eye was hand movement at 1 M distance. Slit-lamp examination of the left eye showed the absence of pupillary opening with folds of iris tissue at center [Figure 1]a. Krimsky test measured 35 prism diopter of exotropia. No family history of similar condition was noted. Lens status and ultrasonography B-scan of the left eye was within normal limit. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography revealed an open-angle and absence of pupillary opening [Figure 1]b. A diagnosis of acorea was made. Acorea can be associated with microphthalmos, cataract, and iridocorneal dysgenesis which is suspected to result from autosomal dominant mutation. If diagnosed early, a pupilloplasty can help prevent the development of stimulus deprivation amblyopia. | Figure 1: (a) Slit-lamp photograph of the left eye showing the absence of pupil with folds of iris tissue at the center.
