Aniridia Network UK

What is Aniridia?

Aniridia is a rare genetic eye condition characterised by the partial or complete absence of the iris and may include a range of secondary conditions, such as, Low Vision, Nystagmus, Glaucoma, Cataracts, and Cornea Pannus.

What does the Aniridia Network UK do?

The Aniridia Network UK is a support group for people with aniridia and their families. We have been working, as a small un-funded committee, to provide this support since 2000 and therefore our services are currently select but growing.

We currently provide:

• Newsletters
• Email discussion group
• Support for people with aniridia and their families.
• Information on aniridia and its associated conditions.
• An annual meeting giving members a chance to meet and share experiences.

We welcome new ideas and resources, so if you have any thoughts or some expertise to give our contact us through our details below:
