title: [On the aetiology of coloboma of the lens (author's transl)].
abstract: The contrast is described between two different types of coloboma of the lens: congenital and traumatic origin. The former is combined with epicanthus, unilateral coloboma of iris, retina and choroid. There seems to be a close relation between coloboma of the lens and a defect of the zonule at least during growth of lens.
