Aniridia is a spectrum of abnormalities of the iris anatomy, which range from a total absence of the iris to a mild stromal hypoplasia with normal pupil. Aniridia associated with ptosis in three generations of the same family is described. The cases fit the autosomal dominant familial aniridia (AN1) type, a genetic form of congenital aniridia characterised by isolated ocular defects.
