How are colobomas treated?

There is no treatment to replace the missing tissue in your child’s eyes. However, there are treatments that might improve their vision, including:

  • Wearing corrective lenses (glasses or contacts).
  • Wearing an eye patch to prevent a lazy eye (amblyopia).
  • Low vision aids (if their vision can’t be improved with corrective lenses).

Some people with iris colobomas can have surgery to change the appearance of their affected eye.
