The Descriptive Epidemiology of Anophthalmia and Microphthalmia

Abstract

In analytical studies searching for the cause of these malformations, it may be useful to restrict the analysis to infants with anophthalmia or isolated microphthalmia as the recording of such cases seems to be more reliable than of microphthalmia occurring with other malformations. The conclusions presented in the literature on the possible effect of Benomyl are partly based on data with apparent very incomplete ascertainment.
