Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Genetics
Developmental Biology

Background:

Peters anomaly (PA) is a rare congenital corneal opacity.
It involves corneal opacities and adhesions due to anterior segment dysgenesis.
PA often presents with other ocular and systemic comorbidities.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive overview of Peters anomaly.
To describe its etiology, classification, pathophysiology, histopathology, clinical features, and management.
To highlight recent advancements in PA treatment.

Main Methods:

Literature review and synthesis of existing research on Peters anomaly.
Analysis of clinical features and diagnostic criteria.
Evaluation of current and novel management strategies, including selective endothelialectomy.

Main Results:

Peters anomaly is characterized by specific corneal defects and adhesions.
Multidisciplinary management is crucial due to associated comorbidities.
Selective endothelialectomy shows promise as a less invasive treatment option.

Conclusions:

Peters anomaly requires a specialized, team-based approach for optimal care.
Minimally invasive techniques like selective endothelialectomy are emerging as viable alternatives to traditional corneal transplantation.
Further research into PA's pathophysiology and treatment efficacy is warranted.
