Abstract
Unilateral anophthalmia is an extremely rare congenital anomaly having prevalence of around 0.003%. [1] Congenital microphthalmia is again a rare anomaly having prevalence rate of around 0.014%–0.035% and affects 3%–11% of blind children. [1-3] The objective is to report a case of a 5-year-old male showing clinical right-sided microphthalmos and left-sided anophthalmos.
