A rare, genetic, eye disease characterized by foveal hypoplasia, optic nerve misrouting with an increased number of axons decussating at the optic chiasm and innervating the contralateral cortex, and posterior embryotoxon or Axenfeld anomaly (indicating anterior segment dysgenesis), in the absence of albinism.
