English term or phrase: lens diaphragm
The baby had lensectomy in both eyes. I assume that the lens diaphragm was pushed forward making the anterior chamber very shallow.

Polish translation:Teczówka
Explanation:
"Teczówka (iris) jest umiesniona czescia blony naczyniowej otaczajacej otwór nazywany zrenica. Dzieki zawartemu w niej pigmentowi jest kolorowa. Miesnie teczówki pozwalaja na zwiekszanie lub zmniejszanie doplywu swiatla przez regulacje wielkosci zrenicy."


"The diaphragm mechanism of a lens acts like the iris of a human eye. In fact, some photographers refer to the diaphragm as the lens iris. The eye dilates (opens wider) and constricts (becomes narrower) because of the ability of the iris to adjust to more or less light. In photography, "aperture" describes not only the adjustable opening in the diaphragm, but the term also refers to the size of the opening."
