Definitions Please
Sep 29, 2000

In reading the posted article about pregnancy and antiviral meds, I came upon a couple of terms I am unable to find a definition on. It was related to Sustiva during pregnancy and the possibility of malformed fetuses. The terms are "anolphthalmia" and "microthalmia". What do these terms mean?

Response from Dr. Luzuriaga

These refer to abnormalities in the development of the eyes.
