  • Title: Peters' anomaly: an unusual case.
    Author: Eggink CA, Mooy CM, Pinckers A.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Paediatr Genet; 1991 Mar; 12(1):19-22. PubMed ID: 1881651.
    Abstract:
    The authors report on a case of congenital bilateral protruding corneal opacities. Clinical and histological examination was consistent with a diagnosis of Peters' anomaly with a defect in the endothelium and Descemet's membrane but without abnormalities of iris and lens. Corneal grafting was performed on both eyes. During a follow-up period of one year the corneas have remained clear. However, surgical intervention for glaucoma has been necessary.
