title: [Bilateral ciliary zonule defect].
abstract: Anterior segment colobomas can be found isolated or in combination with changes in the posterior segment. A coloboma of the ciliary zonule leads to alteration of the lens profile with myopia and astigmatism. Amblyopia and cataract development may also occur. We present two cases with a coloboma of the zonule with different degrees of expression and the most important differential diagnoses are discussed.
