Cataract/Anterior Segment
Identify the defective structure-lens or zonules? Lens colobomas develop due to defective zonules in any segment, leading to a lack of tension on the lens capsule in this region and corresponding flattening of lens equator. The term lens coloboma is thus a misnomer as it is not the lens tissue but the zonules that are missing in that region.
