Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome

Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting the development of the eye's front structures, such as the cornea, iris, and lens. This can lead to cloudy or abnormal eye appearance and increases the risk of glaucoma, which may cause vision loss if untreated. The syndrome can also involve other parts of the body, like facial features and teeth. It is inherited and usually diagnosed through eye examinations and family history. Though it can influence vision, early detection and management help control complications and improve quality of life.
