²Asist. Dr., Ankara Numune Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Göz Hastalıkları Kliniği, Ankara, Türkiye We report a case of 34 years old male who had poor vision since his birth and could not sustain his life without help in recent years. We detected Rieger anomaly and cataract in the right eye, partial aniridia and cataract in the left eye. There was no posterior embryotoxon in both eyes and intraocular pressures were normal. Bilateral phacoemulsifi cation and intraocular lens implantation were performed (the capsular tension ring support in the left eye). Postoperatively, bilateral functional visual acuity was obtained.
