Abstract:
In monozygotic twins two embryos are formed from a single fertilized egg. In "mirror image twins" identical siblings have reverse asymmetric features in the right and left sides of the body. We report the case of twins with mirror-image hypermetropic anisometropia. They were referred to an ophthalmologist at the age of 3.5 years for amblyopia. Cycloplegic refraction of twin 1 was +1.00 in the right eye and +4.50 -0.75 ×180 in the left eye; of twin 2, +4.75 -1.00 ×180 and +1.25. Keratometry and axial length were measured with Lenstar LS 900 when the twins were 6 years of age. In twin 1, the axial length was 22.18 mm in the right eye and 20.97 in the left eye; in twin 2, 20.94 mm and 22.13. Keratomtry of both eyes of these twins was relatively equal.

Pore transport, also known as convective transport, is a process where small molecules like urea, water, and sugars rapidly cross cell membranes as though there were channels or pores in the membrane. Although direct microscopic evidence is limited but the concept of pores or channels is widely accepted based on physiological evidence. Despite the lack of direct...
