Single lens to lens duplication: The missing link
Congenital anomalies of the lens include a wide range from lens coloboma to primary aphakia and doubling of lens. There have been few case reports of double lens; the etiology suggested is metaplastic changes in the surface ectoderm that leads to formation of two lens vesicles and hence resulting in...

We report a case with bilobed lens, which raises the possibility of explaining the etiology of double lens. |
