Preferred Label : Peters anomaly;
ICD-11 definition : Peters anomaly, or Peters congenital glaucoma, is a genetic eye developmental disorder
characterized by trabecular dysgenesis that causes glaucoma, which is generally bilateral.
Descemet's membrane and the endothelium at the center of the cornea fail to develop,
leading to opacities in the central cornea with iridocorneal synechia that stretch
from the edge of the irides to the central opacity. The anterior chamber is narrow
and may adhere to the lens. Cataract can be associated.;
