Ocular coloboma (OC) is a rare congenital anomaly and a product of a defect in embryogenesis. It is the result of fetal fissure closure error that ends with a persistent cleft. Colobomas are generally accompanied by visual loss. In this article, we present a case of bilateral iris, disc, and retina coloboma that was managed with an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (ranibizumab), and as a result, caused regression of the choroidal neovascular membranes and improved the patient's visual acuity. However, The patient will need lifelong follow-up to catch any retinochoroidal changes or development of cataract or glaucoma.
