Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to report a case of Peter’s anomaly. Case report: A 18-years-old male came with complaints of white reflexes in the right eye, which had been slowly enlarging since birth and no vision in the left eye. On examination, the visual acuity of his right was 6/36 with no light perception in his left eye. slit lamp examination in his right eye revealed nystagmus, micro-cornea, corneal opacification, cataract with cornea lenticular adhesion, and no cornea developed in his left eye. The patient was diagnosed with Peter’s anomaly type 2. The patient underwent cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation and his postoperative best corrected visual acuity was 6/24. Conclusion: Peter’s anomaly is a rare disorder with anterior segment malformation where the visual outcome is poor.
