| Bilateral Cryptophthalmos | |
| Cryptophthalmos is a very rare developmental abnormality with fusion of the eyelids and cornea. Conjunctiva is absent. In the complete form no palpebral aperture. There may be a hairless furrow extending from the inner canthus to the temple where the aperture is supposed to be. The eyebrows and eyelashes are usually absent or incompletely developed. Intraocular structures are disorganized. | |
