  • Male and female patients ≥ 12 years old
  • Written informed consent from the patients and parents and/or legal guardian has been obtained prior to any trial-related procedures
  • Patient has confirmed diagnosis of aniridia and progressive corneal neovascularization (confirmed either through 2 slit-lamp photographs with at least 4 weeks apart or through clinical situation) and/or diagnosis of Stage 2 aniridia-associated keratopathy
