Malformation that can appear in the iris or retina, causing the “cat’s eye” effect; the woman had to prove that she did not wear contact lenses
Accountant Anelize Kloster went viral on social media this week when she recorded a video of the questions she gets most often from people because of the way her eyes look. It turns out that, unlike “ordinary eyes”, she Anelize has “cat eyes”.
The condition that alters the anatomy of Anelize’s eye is called coloboma, a congenital disease that occurs in the formation of the eye and can appear in the iris, retina, eyelids, or optic nerve in the first few months of life.
The Brazilian Society of Pediatric Ophthalmology emphasizes that if no other anomalies are present, vision is generally normal and contact lenses can be used by those with the malformation.
The ophthalmologist at the Hospital de Olhos de Cuiabá, Giovanna Marchezine, explains it Earth that there is no treatment for the condition, but rather for the symptoms that may be associated with the disease.
“Colobomas of the eyelid and iris, for example, are the main causes of photosensitivity. Optic nerve coloboma may be associated with low vision depending on the extent of the change and the association with other ocular malformations,” says the specialist.

On her Instagram profile, Anelize also shared photos from when she was a child to demonstrate to her followers that she does not use contact lenses to simulate the “cat’s eye” effect.
