Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus — Expert Guide

How it begins

The eye is derived from the neuroectoderm (retina, retinal pigment epithelium, ciliary body, iris), the superficial ectoderm (lens, epithelial cornea, conjunctiva, lacrimal gland) and the mesoderm + neural crest cells (corneal stroma, trabeculum, extraocular muscles, sclera, choroid, vitreous body).
