partial or complete absence of the dilator muscle of the pupil. At birth, infants
have small pupils ( 2 mm) and a far away gaze. The disorder can cause malformations
of the anterior part of the eye, leading to errors of refraction (myopia, astigmatism)
and sometimes severe juvenile glaucoma. The iridocorneal angle may also be modified
and the irides transilluminable. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal dominant
