Birth Defects. Facts about Anophthalmia/Microphthalmia. Anophthalmia and microphthalmia are birth defects of a babyâs eye(s). Anophthalmia is a birth defect where a baby is born without one or both eyes. Microphthalmia is a birth defect in which one or both eyes did not develop fully, so they are small.
Changes in these genes, also known as mutations, can cause the gene to not work properly causing abnormal development of the eye. Most changes (mutations) in a gene have occurred for the first time in the individuals with anophthalmia/microphthamia. In other words there is no family history of the condition. This does not mean the cause is not genetic.
