Frequently Asked Questions
Can the eye see?
Some microphthalmic eyes have useful vision; others do not. It depends on the development of the internal structures.

Is it inherited?
It can be caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors during pregnancy.
Does insurance cover Microphthalmia treatment?
