Summary

This study investigates whether things a mother is exposed to during early pregnancy might cause uveal coloboma, a rare eye malformation present at birth. Researchers will survey 76 mothers of children with coloboma about their health, medications, and lifestyle during the first trimester. The goal is to gather clues for future research, not to provide direct treatment.
