The delivery was normal, and there was no history of any maternal impression; the child was otherwise healthy and well formed.
Landes reports the case of an infant in which both eyes were absent.
There were six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

The child lived a few weeks.

In some instances of supposed absence of the eyeball the eye is present but diminutive and in the posterior portion of the orbit.

There are instances of a single orbit with no eyes and also a single orbit containing two eyes.

Again we may have two orbits with an absence of eyes but the presence of the lacrimal glands, or the eyes may be present or very imperfectly developed.
