    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Rieger's anomaly is a rare congenital disorder affecting the anterior segment of the eye.
    • It typically presents bilaterally and involves abnormalities of the iris, lens, and cornea.

    Observation:

    • A 53-year-old male presented with a unique case of unilateral Rieger's anomaly affecting only his right eye.
    • His left eye was phenotypically normal, contrasting with typical bilateral presentations.

    Findings:

    • The affected right eye exhibited a prominent, anteriorly displaced Schwalbe's ring.
    • Additional findings included broad iris strands inserting into Schwalbe's ring, anterior stromal iris hypoplasia, mild microcornea, and significant astigmatism.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known spectrum of Rieger's anomaly presentation.
  • It highlights the importance of recognizing unilateral manifestations and associated ocular findings like astigmatism.
