The cliché 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is a testament to the power of the visual
system in helping us deal with our physical environment. Rarely do perturbations to the
visual system, even minor ones, go unnoticed. Major defects in eye development may occur
in the absence of systemic problems which threaten health. Ocular anomalies offer a
window into many developmental events which would otherwise be difficult to study.
