vision/eye
• failure of detachment of transient connection between surface ectoderm (future cornea) and lens vesicle at age E13.5
• lens vesicle filled with pycnotic and disorganized cells at age E13.5
• small and disorganized lens vesicle starting in embryos age E11.5
• normal formation of lens vesicle in embryos age E10.5
• abnormal bending of retinal layers anterior to cornea at age E17.5
• retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) covering entire anterior part of eye at age P1
• establishment of outer and inner neuroblastic layers in neural retina
• thicker and larger retina at age E17.5
• post-partum invasion of central part of the eye (filling up lens and vitreous space) by RPE and other retinal layers
